Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-23 17:05:00 UTC
CVE-2008-2419 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-2419):
  Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
  (heap corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by
  triggering an error condition during certain Iframe operations between a
  JSframe write and a JSframe close, as demonstrated by an error in loading an
  empty Java applet defined by a 'src="javascript:"' sequence.

Nothing for mozilla to do here.

Quoting RedHat bug 448364:

"It is possible that this could affect Seamonkey 1.1.x, however there is no
further information available on this issue, and it looks like it may only
affect Windows.  It also looks as though this issue may be more related to the
java interpreter than to firefox itself.  Regardless, upstream is unable to
reproduce or determine this to be security significant in firefox itself.
