CVE-2006-0298
The XML parser in Mozilla Firefox before 1.5.0.1 and SeaMonkey before 1.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly read sensitive data via unknown attack vectors that trigger an out-of-bounds read.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.77%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
