Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'tidy' package(s) announced via the DLA-273-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Fernando Munoz discovered a security issue on the HTML syntax checker and reformatter tidy. Tidy did not properly process specific character sequences, and a remote attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a DoS, or probably, execute arbitrary code. Two different CVEs were assigned to this issue. CVE-2015-5522 Malformed html documents could lead to a heap-buffer-overflow. CVE-2015-5523 Malformed html documents could lead to allocate 4Gb of memory. For the Squeeze distribution, this issue has been fixed in the 20091223cvs-1+deb6u1 version of tidy. We recommend that you upgrade your tidy packages. Affected Software/OS: 'tidy' package(s) on Debian 6. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
