Mozilla Firefox CVE-2014-1500 Denial of Service Vulnerability

description-logoDescription

Security researchers Tim Philipp Schfers and Sebastian Neef, the team of Internetwache.org, reported a mechanism using JavaScript onbeforeunload events with page navigation to prevent users from closing a malicious page's tab and causing the browser to become unresponsive. This allows for a denial of service (DOS) attack due to resource consumption and blocks the ability of users to exit the application.
