The weakness is caused due to an error in the parsing of comments within certain tags of an HTML document. Arbitrary HTML and script code in a comment tag is executed in a user's browser session when preceded by the corresponding closing tag (e.g. the title tag). Successful exploitation is possible on web sites that allow users to insert unsanitised HTML and script code within a comment into such a tag. The weakness is confirmed in Konqueror 3.5.5. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not browse untrusted sites. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Originally discovered in Safari by Jose Avila III. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- About: This Advisory was delivered by Secunia as a free service to help everybody keeping their systems up to date against the latest vulnerabilities.
