Mozilla is an open source Web browser, advanced email and newsgroup client,
IRC chat client, and HTML editor.
A bug was found in the Mozilla string handling functions. If a malicious
website is able to exhaust a system’s memory, it becomes possible to
execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0255 to this issue.
Please note that other security issues have been found that affect Mozilla.
These other issues have a lower severity, and are therefore planned to be
released as additional security updates in the future.
Users of Mozilla should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch and are not vulnerable to these issues.
