Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2004:486 0 high SHIPPED_LIVE Critical: mozilla security update 2004-09-30 04:00:00 UTC

Description Josh Bressers 2004-09-20 22:07:21 UTC
The "send page" function can overrun the heap on very long links. With
compelling content that people will want to forward to all their
friends and the right link this could be used to execute arbitrary code.

See

for more information.
