 Subject : Mozilla Firefox History Information Denial of Service Weakness
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 

 
   Пустячок, а неприятно ;)
 TITLE:
 Mozilla Firefox History Information Denial of Service Weakness
 
 CRITICAL:
 Not critical
 
 IMPACT:
 DoS
 
 WHERE:
 
 >From remote
 
 SOFTWARE:
 Mozilla Firefox 1.x
 
 DESCRIPTION:
 ZIPLOCK has discovered a weakness in Mozilla Firefox, which can be
 exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
 
 The weakness is caused due to an error in the handling of large
 history information. This can be exploited to fill the history file
 "history.dat" with large history information by tricking a user into
 visiting a malicious web site with an overly large title (e.g. set
 via JavaScript).
 
 Successful exploitation causes the browser to consume a large amount
 of CPU and memory resources on a vulnerable system when the affected
 browser is started up again after an attack. Users may have to remove
 the "history.dat" file in order to be able to use the affected
 browser.
 
 The weakness has been confirmed in version 1.5. Other versions may
 also be affected.
 
 SOLUTION:
 Configure Firefox to clear history information when closing the
 browser. This affects functionality.
