Description Josh Bressers 2009-07-16 14:27:24 UTC 
Andrej Andolsek reported that when Firefox receives a reply from a SOCKS5
proxy which contains a DNS name longer than 15 characters, the subsequent
data stream in the response can become corrupted. There was no evidence of
memory corruption, however, and the severity of the issue was determined to
be low.
