Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 1.5 before 1.5.0.5, Thunderbird before 1.5.0.5, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via simultaneous XPCOM events, which causes a timer object to be deleted in a way that triggers memory corruption.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could remotely crash the browser or email client, and potentially execute arbitrary code in the user's context, leading to system compromise.

Recommendation

Immediately update Mozilla Firefox to version 1.5.0.5 or later, Thunderbird to 1.5.0.5 or later, and SeaMonkey to 1.0.3 or later.
