Technical details

A malformed img tag in styled text passed to a Text element triggers an error in the text parser's validation logic. The parser passes an empty attribute value to an internal check that requires non-empty values, causing the check to fail and invoke the default error handler, which halts the device. This is a denial-of-service condition affecting embedded deployments.
