Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 DoS Exploit

Posted by Hemos on from the to-be-confirmed-or-not-confirmed dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Whitedust Security are reporting on a new exploit for Firefox which apparently affects all versions of the browser from 1.0.7 down. From the article: "If this exploit has made it out into, or indeed been retrieved from the wild is unknown at this time. However it is clear that this exploit will indeed need patching as soon as possible.""

  1. Here is the exploit (the text of the html) by putko · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Here's the exploit:
    <html><body><strong>Mozilla<sourcetext></body></ht ml>
    Note: that last thing really is "html", but I think slashcode rewrites it.

    Any ideas as to what is going wrong?
