An Interesting Mozilla Exploit

justin November 26th, 2008

The Frequency X blog has a writeup on a NULL pointer dereference bug I found a while ago in Firefox. I always find these types of bugs interesting because they require such unique approaches to getting code execution. If youre similarly inclined, you can read the post and follow the details of the exploit process yourself.

    bannedit,

    Thanks. The canvas thing was one of those details that seemed worth sharing because it could be handy for other exploits.
