This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the Mozilla Firefox Javascript Engine. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
The Mozilla Foundation has released thirteen security advisories specifying vulnerabilities in Mozilla Firefox, SeaMonkey, and Thunderbird. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to: - execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the vulnerable application - crash affected applications - run arbitrary script code with elevated privileges - gain access to potentially sensitive information - carry out cross-domain scripting attacks. Other attacks may also be possible. The issues described here will be split into individual BIDs as more information becomes available. These issues are fixed in: - Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.5 - Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.5 - Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.0.3
