CVE-2006-1988
Last modified
CVE-2006-1988 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The WebTextRenderer(WebInternal) _CG_drawRun:style:geometry: function in Apple Safari 2.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an HTML LI tag with a large VALUE attribute (list item number), which triggers a null dereference in QPainter::drawText, probably due to a failed memory allocation that uses the VALUE.. EPSS estimates a 1.85% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
