CVE-2006-1900 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Multiple buffer overflows in World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Amaya 9.4, and possibly other versions including 8.x before 8.8.5, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long value in (1) the COMPACT attribute of the COLGROUP element, (2) the ROWS attribute of the TEXTAREA element, and (3) the COLOR attribute of the LEGEND element; and via other unspecified attack vectors consisting of "dozens of possible snippets.". EPSS estimates a 16.55% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
