CVE-2014-1542

CVSS v2.0

6.8

Medium

VectorAV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 30.0
Description The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the Speex resampler in the Web Audio subsystem, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to a crafted AudioBuffer channel count and sample rate. This can be achieved by using specially formed AudioBuffer channel count and sample rate.
Recommendations For versions prior to 30.0, update to version 30.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Web Audio subsystem until a patch is available. Avoid using crafted AudioBuffer channel counts and sample rates in the affected subsystem to minimize the risk of exploitation.
