Mozilla Firefox 3.5 Unicode Remote Buffer Overflow

Publish date: July 21, 2015
  Severity: HIGH
  CVE Identifier: CVE-2009-2479
  Advisory Date: JUL 21, 2015

  DESCRIPTION

Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x, 3.5, and 3.5.1 on Windows allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uncaught exception and application crash) via a long Unicode string argument to the write method. NOTE: this was originally reported as a stack-based buffer overflow. NOTE: on Linux and Mac OS X, a crash resulting from this long string reportedly occurs in an operating-system library, not in Firefox.
