Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 41.0

Description The issue is related to the improper use of the Cairo library in the gfx/2d/DataSurfaceHelpers.cpp component, which can lead to an out-of-bounds read or a denial of service. This can be triggered by using a CANVAS element to switch to 2D rendering mode, causing errors in the Cairo library. The estimated number of potentially affected devices is not specified.

Recommendations For versions prior to 41.0, update to version 41.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of the CANVAS element to trigger 2D rendering until a patch is available. Restrict access to the vulnerable component gfx/2d/DataSurfaceHelpers.cpp to minimize the risk of exploitation.
