5.0 MEDIUM — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Description

Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Netscape 8.0.4 and 7.2, and K-Meleon before 0.9.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and delayed application startup) via a web site with a large title, which is recorded in history.dat but not processed efficiently during startup. NOTE: despite initial reports, the Mozilla vendor does not believe that this issue can be used to trigger a crash or buffer overflow in Firefox. Also, it has been independently reported that Netscape 8.1 does not have this issue.

Affected configurations

• k-meleon project k-meleon (<= 0.9) • k-meleon project k-meleon 0.7 • k-meleon project k-meleon 0.7 service pack 1 • k-meleon project k-meleon 0.8 • k-meleon project k-meleon 0.8.1 • k-meleon project k-meleon 0.8.2 • mozilla firefox (<= 1.5) • mozilla mozilla suite (<= 1.7.12) • netscape navigator (<= 8.0.40) • netscape navigator 7.1 • netscape navigator 7.2
