CVE-2008-1380
(Links to External Site)
|
Date: Apr 17 2008
|
Impact:
Denial of service via network, Execution of arbitrary code via network, User access via network
|
Fix Available: Yes Vendor Confirmed: Yes
|
Version(s): 2.0.0.13
|
Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Mozilla Firefox. A remote user can cause denial of service conditions.
A remote user can create specially crafted HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a flaw in the JavaScript garbage collector code and cause the target user's browser to crash.
The vendor indicates that similar crashes have been exploitable in the past, so arbitrary code execution may be possible. However, the reported did not confirm code execution.
This vulnerability was introduced by the fix for CVE-2008-1237 described in Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory 2008-15 [see Alert ID 1019695].
|
Impact:
A remote user can create HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will cause the target user's browser to crash.
A remote user may be able to cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
|
Solution:
Red Hat has released a fix.
