This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code. Geoff McLane also discovered that a similar issue could trigger an integer overflow, leading to a memory allocation of 4GB. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service by saturating the target's memory. For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 20091223cvs-1.2+deb7u1. For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 20091223cvs-1.4+deb8u1. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your tidy packages.
