CVE-2009-2535

Published: 20 July 2009

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.19 and 3.x before 3.0.5, SeaMonkey, and Thunderbird allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and application crash) via a large integer value for the length property of a Select object, a related issue to CVE-2009-1692.

Notes

PoC: http://www.milw0rm.com/exploits/9160
It appears this was fixed in Firefox 3.0.5 and 2.0.0.19

CVEs in Firefox are tracked in the xulrunner source packages. The
mapping of xulrunner sources to firefox is:
xulrunner (1.8.0): firefox (1.5) - Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
xulrunner (1.8.1): firefox (2.0) - Ubuntu 6.10 - 8.04 LTS
xulrunner-1.9: firefox-3.0
xulrunner-1.9.1: firefox-3.5
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and 10.04 LTS uses the embedded xulrunner and not
the system xulrunner-1.9.2, so it is tracked in the firefox source package.
