Discussion

Mozilla Browser BMP Image Decoding Multiple Integer Overflow Vulnerabilities

Mozilla Browser is reportedly prone to multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities in the image parsing routines. These issues exist due to insufficient boundary checks performed by the application. A remote attacker may cause denial of service conditions in the client or execute arbitrary code to gain unauthorized access to a vulnerable computer.

These vulnerabilities were researched on Mozilla 1.7, however, other versions may be affected as well. Thunderbird 0.7 was also tested.
