This could be used to access or modify private or valuable information from that other site. - CVE-2007-1558: Gaëtan Leurent informed us of a weakness in APOP authentication that could allow an attacker to recover the first part of your mail password if the attacker could interpose a malicious mail server on your network masquerading as your legitimate mail server. With normal settings it could take several hours for the attacker to gather enough data to recover just a few characters of the password. This result was presented at the Fast Software Encryption 2007 conference. - CVE-2007-1362: Nicolas Derouet reported two problems with cookie handling in Mozilla clients. Insufficient length checks could be use to exhaust browser memory and so to crash the browser or at least slow it done by a large degree. The second issue was that the cookie path and name values were not checked for the presence of the delimiter used for internal cookie storage, and if present this confused future interpretation of the cookie data.
