Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Mozilla Seamonkey. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
A remote user can create HTML with a specially crafted CSS cursor property setting the cursor to certain images. When the HTML is loaded by the target user, the application incorrectly calculates a size value while converting the image to a Windows bitmap format, triggering a heap overflow and executing arbitrary code. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
Only Windows-based systems are affected.
Firefox 1.0.x and Mozilla Suite are not affected.
