Title: PATCH-B9110601 - Security update for mozilla-nspr - SLED10 SP2
Severity: <Unspecified>
Fixlet ID: 911060101
Fixlet Link: http://download.novell.com/Download?buildid=ZZGiKSDXywQ~

Fixlet Description: This update fixes a bug in the Mozilla NSPR helper libraries, which could be used by remote attackers to potentially execute code via javascript vectors.   MFSA 2009-59 / CVE-2009-1563: Security researcher Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research reported a heap-based buffer overflow in Mozilla's string to floating point number conversion routines. Using this vulnerability an attacker could craft some malicious JavaScript code containing a very long string to be converted to a floating point number which would result in improper memory allocation and the execution of an arbitrary memory location. This vulnerability could thus be leveraged by the attacker to run arbitrary code on a victim's computer. Please see patch page for more detailed information.
