Description
The issue is caused by a stack-based buffer overflow in the text-rendering functionality, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a long argument to the
document.write method. This can result in memory corruption and application crash.Recommendations
For Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 3.5.14, update to version 3.5.14 or later.
For Mozilla Firefox versions 3.6.x prior to 3.6.11, update to version 3.6.11 or later.

For Thunderbird versions 3.1.x prior to 3.1.5, update to version 3.1.5 or later.
For SeaMonkey versions prior to 2.0.9, update to version 2.0.9 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the
document.write method until a patch is available.Exploit
