Re: Firefox 2.0.0.3 Out-of-bounds memory access via specialy crafted html file

Nothing exciting to report on OS X 10.4 / fully patched / PPC. Kind of 
broke the properties dialog for the link, and used some cpu, but 
definitely caused no crashing.

On WinXP Norton real time protection detected the file in cache as a 
'hack tool.' I disabled that, but Firefox refused to return to the page 
afterward.

On FF 2.0.0.3 on WinXP SP2+hotfixes clicking the link loads up the
server not found page then CPU shoots up to 100% for ~1 minute and
then everything goes back to normal... not too exciting...

    I don't know what this exploit is supposed to do (I assume crash the browser),
but my FF just fires up my CPU and... that's it :) I can close the tab or
click the Home button and everything goes back to normal.
    I have FF 2.0.3 (32bit) running on a 64bit Gentoo.

This doesn't work in Firefox 2.0.0.3 in Ubuntu 7.04.  This sounds like
it might be another case of mistaken identity with the heap overflow
vulnerability in Nvidia blob drivers for Linux, as this was one way to
exploit it.
