    Priit Laes reported that a JavaScript regular expression can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.

  • CVE-2006-4568

    A vulnerability has been discovered that allows remote attackers to bypass the security model and inject content into the sub-frame of another site.

  • CVE-2006-4570

    Georgi Guninski demonstrated that even with JavaScript disabled in mail (the default) an attacker can still execute JavaScript when a mail message is viewed, replied to, or forwarded.

  • CVE-2006-4571

    Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service, corrupt memory, and possibly execute arbitrary code.
