Patches for two use-after-free bugs

by Nopey Nope

Hello! Find attached two patches, which each fix a use-after-free bug. I've also attached a crashing html document for each, but please be aware that these reproducer documents link urls from external web servers. The reproducers crash reliably on my x86_64 Void Linux laptop, but I've not tested them elsewhere. I've also attached a crash log with asan reporting of each. Thank you -Magnus L p.s. I've also opened github PR 449 with these same changes, but figured I should send the patches via email as well-- if only for practice :)

Segfault while running SSL Labs CurveBall test

Thanks for the report. Yes, is a known problem: https://bug.dillo-browser.org/506/ The fix is in progress. As a workaround you can disable CSS for that page to submit the form or use 3.2.0. > Thanks for resurrecting this awesome browser. It has become my default > browser for 60-70 percent of the web.

Segfault on form submit / CSS display:none

by Thomas Rudolph

Hi, the following html code causes Dillo to segfault in the latest git versions when clicking the button. I stripped the html down to the problem: <form> <span style="display:none;"> <input type="checkbox" name="x"> </span> <input type=submit name="submit" value="Crash"> </form> This is reproducible on my Raspberry Pi OS (Debian 13) machine as well as on my laptop (Debian 13). Removing either "display:none;", or the name attribute of the input, or disabling embedded CSS results in Dillo not crashing. Input type text crashes as well as checkbox. Older versions of Dillo such as the 3.2.0 release do not crash on this code, too. Thanks for resurrecting this awesome browser. It has become my default browser for 60-70 percent of the web. All the best, Thomas
