Disclosure Policy : http://blog.zoller.lu/2008/09/notification-and-disclosure-policy.html

Affected products :

I. Background
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Firefox is a popular internet browser.

II. Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This bug is a typical result of what we call unclamped loop. An "attacker"
will give the Radius value of the Circle attribute a very big value. That
is leetness.

III. Impact
~~~~~~~~~~
Browser doesn't respond any longer to any user input, all tabs are no 
longer accessible, your work if any  (hail to the web 2.0) might be lost.

IV. Proof of concept (hold your breath)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IV. Disclosure timeline
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DD/MM/YYYY
18/11/2008 : Created bugzilla entry (security) with proof of concept, 
             description the terms under which ooperate and the planned disclosure date.

24/22/2008 : Daniel Veditz comments : "Might be a cairo bug rather than SVG 
             (seems to be looping in libthebes), but I can definitely confirm 
                         the DoS.
                          
14/12/2008 : Ask for any action plan and my assessement of considering it low risk

             No reply.

28/12/2008 : "Timeless" comments [..] personally, i intend to open this bug 
             to the public [..] a bug like this is more likely to be fixed 
                         by being visible to more people than by leaving it in a closet.
                         
26/05/2009 : In 2009 I agree; release of this advisory.
