Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Overflow or Wraparound in the html_quote_string function. An attacker can cause memory corruption and crash the application by supplying a crafted HTML attribute containing a large number of characters that require entity encoding, which leads to a signed integer overflow during output size calculation and results in an undersized heap allocation followed by a heap buffer overflow during the copy phase.
