Product: Firefox 2.0.0.3
Description: Out-of-bounds memory access via specialy crafted html file
Type: Remote

Vulnerability can be exploited by using a large value in a href tag to
create an out-of-bounds memory access.

Proof Of Concept exploit:

This doesn't work in Firefox 2.0.0.3 in Ubuntu 7.04.  This sounds like
it might be another case of mistaken identity with the heap overflow
vulnerability in Nvidia blob drivers for Linux, as this was one way to
exploit it.
