Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.15 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.10 do not properly handle an invalid .properties file for an add-on, which allows remote attackers to read uninitialized memory, as demonstrated by use of ISO 8859 encoding instead of UTF-8 encoding in a French .properties file.

Mozilla Firefox y versiones anteriores a la 2.0.0.15 y SeaMonkey y versiones anteriores a la 1.1.10 que no gestionan correctamente una propiedad inválida de un fichero para un complemento, el cual permite a los atacantes remotos leer memorias no inicializadas, como demuestra el cifrado ISO 8859 en lugar del cifrado UTF-8 en un propiedad francesa del fichero.
