Re: [Full-Disclosure] Firefox 0.92 DoS via TinyBMP

["Philip" <pid4x@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It caused the same effect on fully patched XP SP1 (according to
windowsupdate.com) with  IE6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633 when using MyIE
(virutal memory low warning) untill i closed the tab, when opening the link
in just IE page file got to over 900mb before i ended IE's task.

Anyone have any clues as to why my machine seems vunerable to it?
