## Description

Multiple buffer overflows in libtidy, as used in the Tidy extension for PHP
5.2.3 and possibly other products, allow context-dependent attackers to
execute arbitrary code via (1) a long second argument to the
tidy\_parse\_string function or (2) an unspecified vector to the
tidy\_repair\_string function. NOTE: this might only be an issue in
environments where vsnprintf is implemented as a wrapper for vsprintf.
