The native implementations of InstallTrigger and other functions in Firefox before 1.0.3 and Mozilla Suite before 1.7.7 do not properly verify the types of objects being accessed, which causes the Javascript interpreter to continue execution at the wrong memory address, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by passing objects of the wrong type.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2005-1159 is an old browser memory-safety issue in Firefox before 1.0.3 and Mozilla Suite before 1.7.7. A malicious webpage or script could crash the browser and may have been able to run code. Modern exposure is mainly legacy systems running these obsolete browser versions. Likely limited to legacy environments, embedded systems, archived workstations, or old Linux/Unix distributions still running Firefox before 1.0.3 or Mozilla Suite before 1.7.7. Standard modern browsers are not indicated as affected in the provided bundle. Treat as a legacy-risk cleanup item unless affected browsers are still in use. If discovered on operational systems, prioritize removal or upgrade because the potential impact includes browser crash and possible code execution. Mitigation focus: Remove or isolate affected Firefox and Mozilla Suite versions.; Upgrade to Firefox 1.0.3 or later, or Mozilla Suite 1.7.7 or later.; Apply vendor security updates from Red Hat, Gentoo, SCO, SUSE, or the relevant distributor..
