|
|
arbitrary code.

Martijn Wargers and Nick Mott discovered a vulnerability when
|
|
rendering malformed JavaScript content. The Mozilla Firefox 1.0 line is
|
|
not affected.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
If JavaScript is enabled, by tricking a user into visiting a
|
|
malicious web page which would send a specially crafted HTML script
|
|
that contains references to deleted objects with the "designMode"
|
|
property enabled, an attacker can crash the web browser and in theory
|
|
manage to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running
|
|
the browser.
