Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. Mozilla Firefox 3.6.x, 3.5.x, 3.0.19, and earlier, and SeaMonkey, executes a mail application in situations where an IFRAME element has a mailto: URL in its SRC attribute, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive application launches) via an HTML document with many IFRAME elements.
