While checking upstream bugzilla to see if that was reported I noticed

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749115

Does this have the same root cause?


The CVE-2016-2073 PoC is an '&' followed by three characters, one of
which is a 0273 character. The PoC in 749115 has an unexpected
character immediately after a "<!DOCTYPE html" substring. We feel that
the CVE-2016-2073 report can have that unique ID on the basis of (at
least) a different attack methodology. CVE assignment for 749115 is
also possible unless 749115 already has a CVE ID.

... Can you assign an additional CVE for
the 749115 issue?


Use CVE-2015-8806 for 749115. (We don't know of any additional
information about a CVE-2015-8806/CVE-2016-2073 interrelationship, or
about other CVE IDs that could potentially apply to an 'unexpected
character immediately after a "<!DOCTYPE html" substring' scenario.)
