Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in the UTF8ToNewUnicode function for Firefox before 1.0.1 and Mozilla before 1.7.6 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via invalid sequences in a UTF8 encoded string that result in a zero length value.

The Mozilla Suite is vulnerable to multiple issues ranging from the remote execution of arbitrary code to various issues allowing to trick the user into trusting fake web sites or interacting with privileged content. Versions less than 1.7.6 are affected.
