    The button calls hacerMail() which ends up calling soporte() which in turn
ends up calling hacerMail() as argument to the close() method. You have
yourself a nice recursive function without ending, and as a side effect you
are opening lots of mail messages which also exhausts ressources.

Subject: Buffer Overflow with all versions of Internet Explorer and
Javacript.


the 28/07/1999 I have discovered a stack buffer overflow caused by until
the moment all the versions of the Internet Explorer.
In many windows98 causes the necessity to reinitiate the equipment, since
to my to seem it remains without memory.
Only it has been proven in several versions 5 of IE on WindowsNT
server sp6 and windows98 Second Edition.  As I said before the Windows 98
I had to reinitiate it to the force.
Can be possible to execute arbitrary code using the variable company of
the example?

// internet Explorer 5.00.2314.1003 on WindowsNT 4 sp6
// internet Explorer 5.00.3500.1003 on Windows98se

// window.location=company;             // also this line cause the bof.
  close(hacerMail());
}

company="shellcode here?\n";            // i don't think so.
}
