Description Wernfried Haas (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-25 20:26:13 UTC 
Came across this on the forums (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-556469.html), there's some DoS using animated gifs. http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/22899/info says it affects 2.0.0.2, but my 2.0.0.3 just crashed too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Thx for the report. However we don't usually treat one time client crashes as security issues. Reassigning to mozilla.

This should be fixed upstream
