Description

The HTBoundary_put_block function in HTBound.c for W3C libwww (w3c-libwww) allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a crafted multipart/byteranges MIME message that triggers an out-of-bounds read.

Solution(s)

  • oracle-linux-upgrade-w3c-libwww
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-w3c-libwww-apps
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-w3c-libwww-devel
