Subject: CVE id request for links2
Hi,
we received the below bug report about memory handling problems in links2.
Can someone assign CVE ids to this?
Imho at list the first issue is debatable to not get an id. The infinite loop
is also a non-issue from my point of view.
Cheers
Nico

Package: links2
Version: 2.3~pre1-1
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole
I discovered some out of memory accesses in links2 graphics mode that could be
potentially used to run exploits. I fixed them in links-2.6. For Debian
Squeeze, I am sending this patch that backports the fixes to links-2.3pre1.
Apply the patch and distribute patched packages links and links2 through
security.debian.org.
[...]
This patch fixes:
Buffer overflow when pasting too long text from clipboard to dialog boxes
(not remotely exploitable)
A write out of allocated memory in the graphics rendeder (potentionally
exploitable)
An infinite loop when parsing invalid usemap specification in text and
graphics mode (can cause browser lockup, but not otherwise exploitable)
Accesses out of memory in the xbm decoder (potentionally exploitable)
