Details
Tom Ferris discovered a buffer overflow in the Mozilla products
(Mozilla browser, Firefox, Thunderbird). By tricking an user to click
on a Hyperlink with a specially crafted destination URL, a remote
attacker could crash the application. It might even be possible to
exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code, but this has
not yet been confirmed.
