An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-17497 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-17497/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-17497/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-17497","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-17497/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-17497","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-17497","GHSA-xj89-pr57-g8p3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HTML Tidy library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via segmentation fault in Tidy library due to improper validation of currentNode variable.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"tidy","vendor":"htacg"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"In Tidy 5.7.0, the prvTidyTidyMetaCharset function in clean.c allows attackers to cause a denial of service (Segmentation Fault), because the currentNode variable in the \"children of the head\" processing feature is modified in the loop without validating the new value.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17497","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17498"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2017-17496"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-12-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-33391","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-17"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-13692","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-25"},{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"HTACG tidy-html5 alloc.c defaultAlloc memory leak","id":"CVE-2025-6498","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-23"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service via segmentation fault in Tidy library due to improper validation of currentNode variable.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-17497/"}
