{"id":"CVE-2006-4253","details":"Concurrency vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via multiple Javascript timed events that load a deeply nested XML file, followed by redirecting the browser to another page, which leads to a concurrency failure that causes structures to be freed incorrectly, as demonstrated by (1) ffoxdie and (2) ffoxdie3.  NOTE: it has been reported that Netscape 8.1 and K-Meleon 1.0.1 are also affected by ffoxdie.  Mozilla confirmed to CVE that ffoxdie and ffoxdie3 trigger the same underlying vulnerability.  NOTE: it was later reported that Firefox 2.0 RC2 and 1.5.0.7 are also affected.","modified":"2026-04-10T03:37:44.738055Z","published":"2006-08-21T20:04:00Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"ftp://patches.sgi.com/support/free/security/advisories/20060901-01-P.asc"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/21513"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/21906"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/21915"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/21916"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/21939"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/21940"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/21949"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/21950"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/22001"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/22025"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/22036"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/22055"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/22056"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/22066"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/22074"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/22088"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/22195"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/22210"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/22274"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/22391"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/22422"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/24711"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200609-19.xml"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200610-01.xml"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200610-04.xml"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2006:168"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2006:169"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.novell.com/linux/security/advisories/2006_54_mozilla.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-350-1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-351-1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-352-1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-354-1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.vupen.com/english/advisories/2006/3617"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.vupen.com/english/advisories/2006/3748"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.vupen.com/english/advisories/2007/1198"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.vupen.com/english/advisories/2008/0083"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348514"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/ffoxdie.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/ffoxdie3.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://securitytracker.com/id?1016846"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://securitytracker.com/id?1016847"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://securitytracker.com/id?1016848"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://support.avaya.com/elmodocs2/security/ASA-2006-224.htm"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-59.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.pianetapc.it/view.php?id=770"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2006-0675.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2006-0676.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2006-0677.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securiteam.com/securitynews/5VP0M0AJFW.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/443020/100/100/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/443306/100/100/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/443500/100/100/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/443528/100/0/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/446140/100/0/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/447837/100/200/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/447840/100/200/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/448956/100/100/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/448984/100/100/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/449245/100/100/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/449487/100/0/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/449726/100/0/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/19488"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/19534"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docId=c00771742"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-640"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://oval.cisecurity.org/repository/searc
