This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Mozilla Firefox. A successful attack could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the targeted system. Failed exploit attempts could result in a denial of service condition.
The Mozilla Foundation has released a security advisory disclosing three unspecified memory-corruption vulnerabilities. Successfully exploiting these issues may allow attackers to execute code, facilitating the compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash the application. Versions prior to Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.10 and Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.1.7 are vulnerable to these issues.
