User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5 This is supposed to be a Proof of concept exploit for code execution on windows XP SP2, but when you click on it in Firefox, it sends CPU usage to 100% and added around 60-75 MB in my Page file usage output in windows task manager. The first time I clicked on the link, it froze firefox, and it took about a minute to end the process after I used task manager to end it. Immediately after firefox.exe ended, a screen opened that said my minimum virtual memory was being exceeded and my pagefile would be increased. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.On the website provided click on the Windows XP (all service packs) link- provided this is the version of the OS you are using. 2.A small box will pop up and the problem occurs. 3. Actual Results: It sent CPU usage to 100% and added around 60-75 MB in my Page file usage output in windows task manager. Expected Results: The software should not have frozen, I'm not sure exactly what it should do though. This is my first bug report so I'm sorry if this wastes time or effort. I don't know very much about html code and know nothing about programming so hopefully this has all the information needed to solve the issue. I am using Noia 2.0 (extreme) version 2.97

Clearing confidential flag, this is a public exploit. Firefox eventually does respond again, but it keeps us busy enough to avoid the normal "unresponsive script" detection.
