used by hundreds of millions of users.
II. DESCRIPTION

attack (exploitable via remotely originated content).

absence of the extension is not flagged as an error, resulting in
a de-reference of a NULL pointer.
This will cause a denial of service against any application loading
remotely-originated content.

codes for this issue.
