Firefox before 1.0.5, Mozilla before 1.7.9, and Netscape 8.0.2 and 7.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (access violation and crash), and possibly execute arbitrary code, by calling InstallVersion.compareTo with an object instead of a string.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old browser vulnerability affecting Firefox before 1.0.5, Mozilla before 1.7.9, and listed Netscape versions. A malicious web page could crash the browser and possibly run code. Business risk mainly exists where legacy browsers or embedded Mozilla components still remain in operational environments. Exposure is most likely in unsupported legacy desktops, kiosks, lab systems, or packaged applications using old Mozilla/Netscape browser engines. Modern Firefox releases are not identified as affected in the provided sources. Prioritize if legacy browser use exists in production, regulated, kiosk, or operational technology environments. Otherwise, this is mainly a hygiene and decommissioning issue because affected software is obsolete. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox to 1.0.5 or later where applicable.; Upgrade Mozilla to 1.7.9 or later where applicable.; Retire or isolate affected Netscape installations..
