CVE-2008-1380

27
FAUCET Score

CVE-2008-1380 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in the JavaScript engine of Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey versions prior to 2.0.0.14, 2.0.0.14, and 1.1.10 respectively. This flaw, stemming from an incorrect fix for a previous vulnerability, allows remote attackers to crash the garbage collector via a specially crafted web page, potentially leading to further impacts. With a CVSS score of 9.3 (Critical), it presents a high risk due to its network-based attack vector, medium attack complexity, and complete impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its critical severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
