CVE-2008-2419

Publication date 23 May 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

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.
