Title: Denial of Service Vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, and K-Meleon

CVE-2005-4134 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Netscape 8.0.4 and 7.2, and K-Meleon before 0.9.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and delayed application startup) via a web site with a large title, which is recorded in history.dat but not processed efficiently during startup. NOTE: despite initial reports, the Mozilla vendor does not believe that this issue can be used to trigger a crash or buffer overflow in Firefox. Also, it has been independently reported that Netscape 8.1 does not have this issue.
