## Description

Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 9.0, Thunderbird 5.0 through 9.0, and SeaMonkey
before 2.7 do not properly initialize data for image/vnd.microsoft.icon
images, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive
information by reading a PNG image that was created through conversion from
an ICO image.
