The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors when processing e.g. "src", "href", and "background" attributes in HTML files. These can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows when the user is tricked into loading a specially crafted HTML file. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.1 build 668. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not load HTML files from untrusted sources.
