Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. The crypto.signText function in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird before 1.5.0.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain optional Certificate Authority name arguments, which causes an invalid array index and triggers a buffer overflow.
