Mozilla » Firefox : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In February 2008 (Denial of service)

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.12 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.8 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a plain .txt file with a "Content-Disposition: attachment" and an invalid "Content-Type: plain/text," which prevents Firefox from rendering future plain text files within the browser.

modules/libpr0n/decoders/bmp/nsBMPDecoder.cpp in Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.12, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.12, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.8 does not properly perform certain calculations related to the mColors table, which allows remote attackers to read portions of memory uninitialized via a crafted 8-bit bitmap (BMP) file that triggers an out-of-bounds read within the heap, as demonstrated using a CANVAS element; or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted 8-bit bitmap file that triggers an out-of-bounds read. NOTE: the initial public reports stated that this affected Firefox in Ubuntu 6.06 through 7.10.

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.12 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.8 allows remote attackers to steal navigation history and cause a denial of service (crash) via images in a page that uses designMode frames, which triggers memory corruption related to resize handles.

The JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.12, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.12, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly trigger memory corruption via (1) a large switch statement, (2) certain uses of watch and eval, (3) certain uses of the mousedown event listener, and other vectors.

The browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.12, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.12, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly trigger memory corruption via vectors related to the (1) nsTableFrame::GetFrameAtOrBefore, (2) nsAccessibilityService::GetAccessible, (3) nsBindingManager::GetNestedInsertionPoint, (4) nsXBLPrototypeBinding::AttributeChanged, (5) nsColumnSetFrame::GetContentInsertionFrame, and (6) nsLineLayout::TrimTrailingWhiteSpaceIn methods, and other vectors.
