Descriptions

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.17 and 3.x before 3.0.2, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.17, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.12 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the JavaScript engine and (1) misinterpretation of the characteristics of Namespace and QName in jsxml.c, (2) misuse of signed integers in the nsEscapeCount function in nsEscape.cpp, and (3) interaction of JavaScript garbage collection with certain use of an NPObject in the nsNPObjWrapper::GetNewOrUsed function in nsJSNPRuntime.cpp.

Múltiples vulnerabilidades sin especificar en Firefox de Mozilla antes de 2.0.0.17 y 3.x antes de 3.0.2, Thunderbird antes de 2.0.0.17, y SeaMonkey antes de 1.1.12 permiten a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de la aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código de su elección mediante vectores relacionados con el motor javaScript y (1) una mala interpretación de las características de Namespace y QName en jsxml.c, (2) un mal uso de enteros con signo en la función nsEscapeCount de nsEscape.cpp, y (3) la interacción de una colección de basura JavaScript con un cierto uso de NPObject en la función nsNPObjWrapper::GetNewOrUsed de nsJSNPRuntime.cpp.
