Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox version 2.0.0.9

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in CPU consumption and crash. This can be achieved by using an iframe with Javascript that sets the document.location to contain a leading NULL byte (x00) and a specific URI, including (1) res://, (2) about:config, or (3) file:///.

Recommendations For Mozilla Firefox version 2.0.0.9, consider disabling the use of iframes with Javascript that set the document.location to contain a leading NULL byte (x00) and the specified URIs until a patch is available. Restrict access to the document.location property to minimize the risk of exploitation.
