Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox 3.0.5 on Windows Vista allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via JavaScript code with a long string value for the hash property (aka location.hash). NOTE: it was later reported that earlier versions are also affected, and that the impact is CPU consumption and application hang in unspecified circumstances perhaps involving other platforms.

Firefox 3.0.5 de Mozilla en Windows Vista permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de la aplicación) mediante código JavaScript con un valor de cadena largo para la propiedad hash (también conocido como location.hash).
