NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tidy-html5 package and not the tidy-html5 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

In Tidy 5.5.31, the IsURLCodePoint function in attrs.c allows attackers to cause a denial of service (Segmentation Fault), as demonstrated by an invalid ISALNUM argument.
