Firefox 1.5.0.7 and 2.0, and Seamonkey 1.1b, allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (crash) by creating a range object using
createRange, calling selectNode on a DocType node (DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE),
then calling createContextualFragment on the range, which triggers a null
dereference. NOTE: the original Bugtraq post mentioned that code execution
was possible, but followup analysis has shown that it is only a null
dereference.
