["Webmaster" <webmaster () domina-chantal de>]

Hi,

i can confirm it for FF 0.92 on afully Patched WindowsBox...

but it doesn't happen much...memory increases to 1,8GB but the Pc is still
acting normal, nothing is slowed down or something...

just closed it and the memory goes back to normal...

Grettings,

Hi,

there is a security vulnerability in Firebox 0.92 (latest Version)

http://www.4rman.com/exploits/tinybmp.htm

this link causes that your virutal memory will be rise up 1,2 GB used
Memory...

maybe Thunderbird 0.72 is also vulnerable via HTML.
