High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox version 2.0.0.3

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash. This is achieved by using a long hostname in an HREF attribute within an A element, which triggers an out-of-bounds memory access.

Recommendations For Mozilla Firefox version 2.0.0.3, consider avoiding the use of long hostnames in HREF attributes until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the length of hostnames in A elements to prevent out-of-bounds memory access.
