Simple DoS for Firefox 1.5
Posted by: Peter Laborge
Published: 2005-12-07

An exploit for the new Firefox 1.5 browser was released today that causes a denial of service condition using a simple web page as a trigger.

More Details at SecurityFocus.com

(Firefox 1.5 users should get in the habit of clearing the cache folder often.)
