Description Josh Bressers 2008-06-24 15:29:36 UTC

Mozilla developer Daniel Glazman demonstrated that an improperly encoded
.properties file in an add-on can result in uninitialized memory being used.
This could potentially result in small chunks of data from other programs being
exposed in the browser.
