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 attempts to use memset for a memory region of negative length during interaction with the mozilla::layers::BufferTextureClient::AllocateForSurface function. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) 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.
