CVE-2005-4134 – Mozilla Firefox 0.x/1.x - Large History File Buffer Overflow

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2005-4134

Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Netscape 8.0.4 and 7.2, and K-Meleon before 0.9.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and delayed application startup) via a web site with a large title, which is recorded in history.dat but not processed efficiently during startup. NOTE: despite initial reports, the Mozilla vendor does not believe that this issue can be used to trigger a crash or buffer overflow in Firefox. Also, it has been independently reported that Netscape 8.1 does not have this issue. • https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/26762 ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/updates/UnixWare/SCOSA-2006.26/SCOSA-2006.26.txt ftp://patches.sgi.com/support/free/security/advisories/20060201-01-U http://marc.info/?l=full-disclosure&m=113404911919629&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=full-disclosure&m=113405896025702&w=2 http://secunia.com/advisories/17934 http://secunia.com/advisories/17944 http://secunia.com/advisories/17946 http://secunia.com/advisories/18700 http://secunia.com/advisori •
