Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Mozilla versions 1.7.3 and earlier

Description: A heap-based buffer overflow issue exists, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash. This occurs when an NNTP URL (news:) with a trailing '' (backslash) character is used, preventing a string from being NULL terminated.

Recommendations: For Mozilla versions 1.7.3 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of NNTP URLs with trailing '' characters until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
