## Description

Mozilla Firefox 1.5 before 1.5.0.5, Thunderbird before 1.5.0.5, and
SeaMonkey before 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via simultaneous XPCOM events,
which causes a timer object to be deleted in a way that triggers memory
corruption.
