| Description |
| String handling functions in Mozilla 1.7.3, Firefox 1.0, and
Thunderbird before 1.0.2, such as the nsTSubstring_CharT::Replace
function, do not properly check the return values of other functions
that resize the string, which allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code by forcing an
out-of-memory state that causes a reallocation to fail and return a
pointer to a fixed address, which leads to heap corruption.
