Description
Stack-based buffer overflow in the writeGroup function in nsVCardObj.cpp for Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed VCard attachments that are not properly handled when previewing a message.

An upgrade is required as there are no known workarounds.\n\nFor Netscape products, there are currently no known upgrades or patches available to correct this issue. It is possible to mitigate the flaw by disabling the preview pane in Netscape Mail & News. This will help avoid automatic exploitation upon receiving a malicious vCard; however, it will not prevent exploitation if the malicious vCard is viewed via a Netscape product by some other method, such as opening the message normally.\n## Short Description\nA local overflow exists in Mozilla-based applications and Netscape Navigator.
