DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in the MuPDF plugin
for Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise
a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"pdfmoz_onmouse()" function in apps/mozilla/moz_main.c and can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a
user into visiting a specially crafted website.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2008.09.02. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Use another product.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Stefan Cornelius, Secunia Research.
