High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 2.0.0.16
Mozilla Firefox versions 3.x prior to 3.0.1
Thunderbird versions prior to 2.0.0.16
SeaMonkey versions prior to 1.1.11
Description
The issue arises from the use of an incorrect integer data type as a CSS object reference counter in the CSSValue array data structure. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by creating a large number of references to a common CSS object, leading to a counter overflow and the freeing of in-use memory.
Recommendations
For Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 2.0.0.16, update to version 2.0.0.16 or later.
For Mozilla Firefox versions 3.x prior to 3.0.1, update to version 3.0.1 or later.
For Thunderbird versions prior to 2.0.0.16, update to version 2.0.0.16 or later.
For SeaMonkey versions prior to 1.1.11, update to version 1.1.11 or later.
