Description
The issue is caused by a buffer overflow and improper access to objects in memory, which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) by using a specially crafted website. The vulnerabilities could corrupt memory, enabling an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user.
