Re: Firefox 3.0.3 remote null pointer DoS vulnerability

Yeah, considering this is just a DoS, there isn't much to worry about in terms of it being an actual "security threat" to anybody.

Now if you could get it to run shellcode... that's another story. This would actually pose a problem, considering you could exploit the said vulnerability and make FF run whatever payload you'd like.
