CVE-2007-3285

Firefox < 2.0.0.5 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Program Execution via NULL Byte Extension Bypass

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.5, when run on Windows, allows remote attackers to bypass file type checks and possibly execute programs via a (1) file:/// or (2) resource: URI with a dangerous extension, followed by a NULL byte (%00) and a safer extension, which causes Firefox to treat the requested file differently than Windows would.
