Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Firefox versions 1.5.0.7 and 2.0 Seamonkey version 1.1b

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by creating a range object using createRange, calling selectNode on a DocType node, then calling createContextualFragment on the range, triggering a null dereference.

Recommendations: For Firefox versions 1.5.0.7 and 2.0, consider disabling the createRange function until a patch is available. For Seamonkey version 1.1b, restrict access to the createContextualFragment method to minimize the risk of exploitation.
