Title: Mozilla Firefox Range Script Object Denial of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Mozilla Firefox is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability.
Specifically, this issue occurs when Firefox attempts to handle certain unexpected uses of Range objects. When a malformed HTML document containing the 'createRange' method, along with other operations, is executed by the application, a NULL-pointer dereference occurs.
An attacker may exploit this vulnerability to cause Mozilla Firefox to crash, resulting in denial-of-service conditions.
Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.7 (and earlier) as well as version 2.0 are prone to this issue.
