Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 48.0 Firefox ESR versions prior to 45.3

Description The issue is caused by a stack-based buffer underflow in the mozilla::gfx::BasePoint4d function. This can be exploited by a remote attacker using specially crafted two-dimensional graphics data that is mishandled during clipping-region calculations, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
