Title: Mozilla Multiple Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla. These issues are related to malformed HTML involving the TEXTAREA, INPUT, FRAMESET, and IMG tags.
The issues may be triggered by specifying one of the tags, followed by a null byte, followed by some extra characters. The behavior may vary depending on the tag or the host operating system. The issues may cause null pointer dereference, infinite loops, or a crash when the application attempts to reference an invalid pointer.
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.
