CVE-2008-5510

Publication date 17 December 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The CSS parser in Mozilla Firefox 3.x before 3.0.5 and 2.x before 2.0.0.19, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.19, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.14 ignores the ‘\0’ escaped null character, which might allow remote attackers to bypass protection mechanisms such as sanitization routines.
