CVE-2006-1730: Buffer Overflow
First published: Fri Apr 14 2006(Updated: )
Integer overflow in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird 1.x before 1.5.0.2 and 1.0.x before 1.0.8, Mozilla Suite before 1.7.13, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large number in the CSS letter-spacing property that leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.
