Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2010-11-06 00:00 - Updated: 2026-06-16 23:24
Summary
WebKit, as used in Google Chrome before 7.0.517.44, webkitgtk before 1.2.6, and other products, does not properly handle large text areas, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted HTML document.
