Description Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2009-03-05 23:18:42 UTC 
CVE-2009-0821 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-0821):
  Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.20 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause
  a denial of service (application crash) via nested calls to the
  window.print function, as demonstrated by a
  window.print(window.print()) in the onclick attribute of an INPUT
  element.
Comment 1 Nirbheek Chauhan (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-09-16 13:21:54 UTC 
Nothing for mozilla team to do here, none of the affected versions are in-tree anymore.
Comment 2 Alex Legler (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2011-12-13 19:40:07 UTC 
There is no indication of a fixed version.
This issue is merely a Denial of Service condition that is triggered by user interaction, thus not a security issue.
