Description:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Mozilla Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the JavaScript engine, as a "lambda" replace exposes arbitrary amounts of heap memory after the end of a JavaScript string.

Successful exploitation may disclose sensitive information in memory.

Secunia has constructed a test, which can be used to check if your browser is affected by this issue:
