security flaw

Stack-based buffer overflow in the browsegetnamespace function in imap/browse.c of Mutt 1.4.2.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service crash or execute arbitrary code via long namespaces received from the IMAP server...

security flaw

Firefox before 1.0.5, Mozilla before 1.7.9, and Netscape 8.0.2 does not properly verify the associated types of DOM node names within the context of their namespaces, which allows remote attackers to modify certain tag properties, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary script or code, as...

CVE-2005-2269

Firefox before 1.0.5, Mozilla before 1.7.9, and Netscape 8.0.2 does not properly verify the associated types of DOM node names within the context of their namespaces, which allows remote attackers to modify certain tag properties, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary script or code, as...

XHTML node spoofing — Mozilla

Parts of the browser UI relied too much on DOM node names without taking different namespaces into account and verifying that nodes really were of the expected type. An XHTML document could be used to create fake elements, for example, with content-defined properties that the browser would access...
