[Full-disclosure] Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Windows Display Manager [Suspected]

[Lise Moorveld]

Dear Sumit,

Could you tell me how you exploited this buffer
overflow issue in Firefox so I can try and reproduce
it? I notice a lot of A's in your address bar but I'm
not sure whether that's it and if so, how many A's are
used.

Regards,

Lise
