Description: | Mozilla is an open source Web browser, advanced email and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.
A bug was found in the way Mozilla processes certain international domain names. An attacker could create a specially crafted HTML file, which when viewed by the victim would cause Mozilla to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-2871 to this issue.
Users of Mozilla are advised to upgrade to this updated package that contains a backported patch and is not vulnerable to this issue.
