NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream epiphany package and not the epiphany package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.16 relevant fixed versions and status.

In GNOME Epiphany before 41.4 and 42.x before 42.2, an HTML document can trigger a client buffer overflow (in ephy_string_shorten in the UI process) via a long page title. The issue occurs because the number of bytes for a UTF-8 ellipsis character is not properly considered.
