CVE-2008-0592

Firefox < 2.0.0.12 and SeaMonkey < 1.1.8 - Denial of Service via Invalid Content-Type Header

Title source: llm

Description

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.12 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.8 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a plain .txt file with a "Content-Disposition: attachment" and an invalid "Content-Type: plain/text," which prevents Firefox from rendering future plain text files within the browser.
