Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 15.04 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

HTML Tidy could be made to crash or run programs if it processed specially crafted data.

Software Description: - tidy: HTML syntax checker and reformatter

Details:

Fernando Muñoz discovered that HTML Tidy incorrectly handled memory. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing specially crafted data, applications linked against HTML Tidy could be made to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 15.04:
libtidy-0.99-0 20091223cvs-1.4ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libtidy-0.99-0 20091223cvs-1.2ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libtidy-0.99-0 20091223cvs-1ubuntu2.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
