Description

This module exploits a memory corruption vulnerability in the Mozilla
Firefox browser. This flaw occurs when a bug in the javascript interpreter
fails to preserve the return value of the escape() function and results in
uninitialized memory being used instead. This module has only been tested
on Windows, but should work on other platforms as well with the current
targets.
