Mozilla String Library Memory Overwrite VulnerabilityID: oval:org.mitre.oval:def:100040 | Date: (C)2005-08-16 (M)2024-03-27 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: windows |
String handling functions in Mozilla 1.7.3, Firefox 1.0, and Thunderbird before 1.0.2, such as the nsTSubstring_CharT::Replace function, do not properly check the return values of other functions that resize the string, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code by forcing an out-of-memory state that causes a reallocation to fail and return a pointer to a fixed address, which leads to heap corruption.
