Re: Windows .ANI LoadAniIcon Stack Overflow

Hello:

Firefox 2.0.0.3 (at least in windows) *seems to be vulnerable*. I don't
remember exactly what it did but it behaved in a strange way I believe some
file handle was left open and had to kill it the hard way. I don't know what
they say in the docs but if it ends up calling the user32 function and
that's all it takes to trigger the bug. I was taking a peek at it's import
tables and It imports from User32 the function LoadCursorA maybe that could
be the guilty one.

anyway test here and see what happens (that link is from dev code)

I'm not vulnerable anymore since quite some time ;) and I don't have much
time to test right now

Regards
Waldo
