This PoC code actually allows remote code execution under IE. FireFox is not affected as drastically, but it's still an effective DoS attack. Works against 1.5 RC3 build as well as nightly 2005112003.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. browse to http://www.computerterrorism.com/research/ie/poc.htm
2. click on version of the exploit to run.


Actual Results:  
FireFox becomes unresponsive.
