The Mozilla Chatzilla IRC URI handler is prone to a memory corruption vulnerability when handling URIs of excessive length. This will cause the browser to crash. Though unconfirmed, this issue could theoretically be exploited to execute arbitrary code if an attacker can corrupt specific regions of memory and control execution flow of the program. This issue was reported for Mozilla on Windows platforms. It is not known if other versions are similarly affected. This issue may be related to BID 4637.
