Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.12 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.8 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a plain .txt file with a "Content-Disposition: attachment" and an invalid "Content-Type: plain/text," which prevents Firefox from rendering future plain text files within the browser.

Mozilla Firefox antes de 2.0.0.12 y SeaMonkey antes de 1.1.8. Permite a atacantes remotos ayudados por el usuario provocar una denegación de servicio a través del archivo plain .txt con un "disposición de contenido: adjunto" (Content-Disposition attachment) y un "Tipo de contenido: texto/plano" (Content-Type: plain/text) no válido, lo que impide a Firefox interpretar futuros archivos de texto plano en el navegador.
