Multiple Mozilla products table tag handling code execution
| mozilla-table-rebuilding-code-execution (25985) |  High Risk |
Description:
Multiple Mozilla products, including Firefox, Thunderbird, Mozilla Suite and SeaMonkey, could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a victim's system, caused by improper handling of invalid and specially-crafted table-related tags which could result in a negative array index. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a potential victim to visit a malicious Web page or open a malicious HTML email attachment.
