NOTE: the vendor and original researchers have released a follow-up comment disputing the severity of this issue, in which the researcher states that \"we mentioned that there was a previously known Firefox vulnerability that could result in a stack overflow ending up in remote code execution. However, the code we presented did not in fact do this... I have not succeeded in making this code do anything more than cause a crash and eat up system resources\"." } ] }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "n/a" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "firefox-multiple-javascript-bo(29317)", "refsource": "XF", "url": "https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/29317" }, { "name": "20282", "refsource": "BID", "url": "http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/20282" }, { "name": "1016962", "refsource": "SECTRACK", "url": "http://securitytracker.com/id?1016962" }, { "name": "http://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2006/10/02/update-possible-vulnerability-reported-at-toorcon/", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "http://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2006/10/02/update-possible-vulnerability-reported-at-toorcon/" }, { "name": "20061001 0day in Firefox from ToorCon '06", "refsource": "BUGTRAQ", "url": "http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/447497/100/0/threaded" }, { "name": "1678", "refsource": "SREASON", "url": "http://securityreason.com/securityalert/1678" }, { "name": "http://www.securitypronews.com/insiderreports/insider/spn-49-20061003FirefoxVulnerabilityClaimWasAJoke.html", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "http://www.securitypronews.com/insiderreports/insider/spn-49-20061003FirefoxVulnerabilityClaimWasAJoke.html" }, { "name": "20061001 zero-day flaws in Firefox: about 30 unpatched Firefox flaws", "refsource": "BUGTRAQ", "url": "http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/447493/100/0/threaded" }, { "name": "20294", "refsource": "BID", "url": "http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/20294" } ] } }
