- --- 0.Description ---
Flock is a web browser built on Mozilla.s Firefox codebase that specializes
in providing social networking and Web 2.0 facilities built into its user
interface. Flock v2.5 was officially released on May 19, 2009.

The Flock browser is available as a free download, and supports Microsoft
Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms.

- --- 1. Flock 2.5.2 Remote Array Overrun (Arbitrary code execution) ---
The main problem exist in dtoa implementation. Flock has the same dtoa as
Firefox, SeaMonkey, Chrome, Opera etc.
and it is the same like SREASONRES:20090625.

http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/63

but fix for SREASONRES:20090625, used by openbsd was not good.
More information about fix for openbsd and similars SREASONRES:20091030,

http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/69

We can create any number of float, which will overwrite the memory. In
Kmax has defined 15. Functions in dtoa, don't checks Kmax limit, and
it is possible to call 16<= elements of freelist array.
