What is CVE-2005-4134?

An issue in Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Netscape 8.0.4, 7.2, and earlier versions of K-Meleon allows remote attackers to exploit the browser's history processing. By accessing a specially crafted webpage with an excessively large title, attackers can induce high CPU consumption and prolonged startup delays. The vulnerability arises because the browser inadequately processes the history file, leading to potential service disruptions without triggering a crash. It's important to note that the current vendor assessments indicate that this issue does not result in crashes or buffer overflows.
