| Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Netscape 8.0.4 and 7.2, and K-Meleon before
0.9.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU
consumption and delayed application startup) via a web site with a
large title, which is recorded in history.dat but not processed
efficiently during startup. NOTE: despite initial reports, the
Mozilla vendor does not believe that this issue can be used to trigger
a crash or buffer overflow in Firefox. Also, it has been
independently reported that Netscape 8.1 does not have this issue.
