Base vector

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

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

Description The issue is related to the Off Main Thread Compositing (OMTC) implementation, which makes an incorrect memset call during interaction with the mozilla::layers::BufferTextureClient::AllocateForSurface function. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service, resulting in memory corruption and application crash, via vectors that trigger rendering of 2D graphics content.

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 rendering of 2D graphics content until a patch is available.
