Mozilla products contain a memory corruption vulnerability related to SVG processing. This vulnerability may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) processing code in Mozilla Firefox and SeaMonkey contains a memory corruption vulnerability. According to Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory 2006-73:
_Appending an SVG comment DOM node from one document into another type of document such as HTML in some cases results in a crash due to memory corruption that can be exploited to run arbitrary code. _
_This flaw was introduced in the Firefox 1.5.0.4 release, prior versions are unaffected. _
By convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code.
Upgrade
Mozilla has addressed these vulnerabilities in Firefox 2.0.0.1, Firefox 1.5.0.9 and SeaMonkey 1.0.7.
Workaround

For instructions on how to disable JavaScript in Firefox, please refer to the Firefox section of the Securing Your Web Browser document.
