Firefox 1.0 does not prevent the user from dragging an executable file to
the desktop when it has an image/gif content type but has a dangerous
extension such as .bat or .exe, which allows remote attackers to bypass the
intended restriction and execute arbitrary commands via malformed GIF files
that can still be parsed by the Windows batch file parser, aka
“firedragging.”
