Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Suite version 1.7.6 Firefox versions 1.0.1 through 1.0.2 Netscape version 7.2

Description The issue allows remote attackers to read portions of heap memory in a Javascript string. This is achieved via the lambda replace method in the find replen function.

Recommendations For Mozilla Suite version 1.7.6, consider disabling the lambda replace method until a patch is available. For Firefox versions 1.0.1 through 1.0.2, restrict access to the find replen function in the Javascript engine to minimize the risk of exploitation. For Netscape version 7.2, avoid using the lambda replace method in the Javascript engine until the issue is resolved.
