Discussion

Mozilla Multiple Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities

Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla. These issues are related to malformed HTML involving the TEXTAREA, INPUT, FRAMESET, and IMG tags. These issues could cause the browser to crash when rendering the malformed HTML, though there is an additional possibility of leveraging the issues to execute arbitrary code.

Although these issues were reported in the Mozilla browser, other applications based on the same code may also be affected such as Firefox/Thunderbird/Netscape.
