A flaw was found in the way NSS handled CCS (ChangeCipherSpec) messages in TLS 1.3. This flaw allows a remote attacker to send multiple CCS messages, causing a denial of service for servers compiled with the NSS library. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. This flaw affects NSS versions before 3.58.
If a long user name is used in a username/password combination in a site URL (such as " http://UserName:Password@example.com"), the resulting modal prompt will hang in a non-responsive state or crash, causing a denial of service. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 55.
Null pointer dereference vulnerability in NSS since 3.24.0 was found when server receives empty SSLv2 messages resulting into denial of service by remote attacker.
During TLS 1.2 exchanges, handshake hashes are generated which point to a message buffer. This saved data is used for later messages but in some cases, the handshake transcript can exceed the space available in the current buffer, causing the allocation of a new buffer. This leaves a pointer pointing to the old, freed buffer, resulting in a use-after-free when handshake hashes are then calculated afterwards. This can result in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 56, Firefox ESR < 52.4, and Thunderbird < 52.4.
A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when the layer manager is freed too early when rendering specific SVG content, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 55.
A possibly exploitable crash triggered during layout and manipulation of bidirectional unicode text in concert with CSS animations. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.1, Firefox ESR < 52.1, and Firefox < 53.
If a malicious site repeatedly triggers a modal authentication prompt, eventually the browser UI will become non-responsive, requiring shutdown through the operating system. This is a denial of service (DOS) attack. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 52 and Thunderbird < 52.
In certain circumstances a networking event listener can be prematurely released. This appears to result in a null dereference in practice. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 52 and Thunderbird < 52.
A use-after-free can occur during buffer storage operations within the ANGLE graphics library, used for WebGL content. The buffer storage can be freed while still in use in some circumstances, leading to a potentially exploitable crash. Note: This issue is in "libGLES", which is only in use on Windows. Other operating systems are not affected. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 52 and Thunderbird < 52.
A segmentation fault can occur in the Skia graphics library during some canvas operations due to issues with mask/clip intersection and empty masks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 52 and Thunderbird < 52.

Mozilla Firefox before 1.5.0.7, Thunderbird before 1.5.0.7, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed JavaScript regular expression that ends with a backslash in an unterminated character set ("[\\"), which leads to a buffer over-read.
Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.15.2 does not ensure that data structures are initialized before read operations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors that trigger a decryption failure.
A buffer overflow in SkiaGl caused when a GrGLBuffer is truncated during allocation. Later writers will overflow the buffer, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50.1.
Heap-based buffer overflow in Mozilla Thunderbird before 1.5.0.5 and SeaMonkey before 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a VCard attachment with a malformed base64 field, which copies more data than expected due to an integer underflow.

NOTE: despite initial reports, the Mozilla vendor does not believe that this issue can be used to trigger a crash or buffer overflow in Firefox. Also, it has been independently reported that Netscape 8.1 does not have this issue.
Firefox before 1.0.5, Mozilla before 1.7.9, and Netscape 8.0.2 and 7.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (access violation and crash), and possibly execute arbitrary code, by calling InstallVersion.compareTo with an object instead of a string.

NOTE: the original Bugtraq post mentioned that code execution was possible, but followup analysis has shown that it is only a null dereference.
Mozilla 1.6 and possibly other versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a XBM (X BitMap) file with a large (1) height or (2) width value.
String handling functions in Mozilla 1.7.3, Firefox 1.0, and Thunderbird before 1.0.2, such as the nsTSubstring_CharT::Replace function, do not properly check the return values of other functions that resize the string, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code by forcing an out-of-memory state that causes a reallocation to fail and return a pointer to a fixed address, which leads to heap corruption.
Heap-based buffer overflow in MSG_UnEscapeSearchUrl in nsNNTPProtocol.cpp for Mozilla 1.7.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an NNTP URL (news:) with a trailing '\' (backslash) character, which prevents a string from being NULL terminated.

The POP3 mail client in Mozilla 1.0 and earlier, and Netscape Communicator 4.7 and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (no new mail) via a mail message containing a dot (.) at a newline, which is interpreted as the end of the message.
Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3 on Windows XP SP3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption and application crash) via JavaScript code that creates multiple arrays containing elements with long string values, and then appends long strings to the content of a P element, related to the gfxWindowsFontGroup::MakeTextRun function in xul.dll, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-1571.
Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3 on Windows XP SP3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption, out-of-bounds read, and application crash) via JavaScript code that appends long strings to the content of a P element, and performs certain other string concatenation and substring operations, related to the DoubleWideCharMappedString class in USP10.dll and the gfxWindowsFontGroup::GetUnderlineOffset function in xul.dll, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-1571.

Mozilla Firefox 3.6.x, 3.5.x, 3.0.19, and earlier, and SeaMonkey, executes a mail application in situations where an IFRAME element has a mailto: URL in its SRC attribute, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive application launches) via an HTML document with many IFRAME elements.
The nsObserverList::FillObserverArray function in xpcom/ds/nsObserverList.cpp in Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted web site that triggers memory consumption and an accompanying Low Memory alert dialog, and also triggers attempted removal of an observer from an empty observers array.
Mozilla Firefox 3.5.2 on Windows XP, in some situations possibly involving an incompletely configured protocol handler, does not properly implement setting the document.location property to a value specifying a protocol associated with an external application, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors involving a series of function calls that set this property, as demonstrated by (1) the chromehtml: protocol and (2) the aim: protocol.
