-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Valdis, I have been able to reproduce a similar situation using Firefox under MacOSX, using different websites and a significantly larger number of tabs. Do you think these issues might be related or are they operating system specific? What model of CPU were you testing this issue under? Thanks, - -bm On Mon, 02 Mar 2009 23:41:53 -0500 Valdis' Mustache <security.mustache () gmail com> wrote:
I would like to point out that I have been able to create a "hung" state in the Firefox browser by opening 30 simultaneous tabs pointed at http://www.welcometointernet.org/lawnmower/ and adding a 31st tab viewing http://www.hotrussianbrides.com. Also, I am not amused.

If you visit www.evil.com and your tab crashes, that's no different from www.evil.com closing its own tab withJavascript.But what if www.evil.com has run an injection attack of somekind(SQL, XSS in blog comments, etc, etc) against www.stupid.com? Visitors to stupid.com then suffer a DoS... Yes, stupid.com should run their site better, fix their myriadXSSholes, etc, etc. But this is the Internet, so this "software flaw" can beleveragedas security vulnerability. I'm with Thierry on this... Regards, Nick FitzGerald _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
