AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 37.0

Description The issue is related to the webrtc::VPMContentAnalysis::Release function in the WebRTC implementation, which uses incompatible methods for deallocating memory allocated for simple-type arrays. This could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service, potentially resulting in memory corruption.

Recommendations For versions prior to 37.0, update to version 37.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of WebRTC functionality until the update is applied.
