Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in Mozilla Firefox allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving JavaScript. NOTE: the vendor and original researchers have released a follow-up comment disputing the severity of this issue, in which the researcher states that "we mentioned that there was a previously known Firefox vulnerability that could result in a stack overflow ending up in remote code execution. However, the code we presented did not in fact do this... I have not succeeded in making this code do anything more than cause a crash and eat up system resources"

** IMPUGNADA ** Desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en Mozilla Firefox permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección mediante vectores no especificados implicando JavaScript. NOTA: el vendedor e investigadores originales han liberado un comentario de continuación impugnando la severidad de este asunto, en el cual el investigador afirma que "hemos mencionado que hubo una vulnerabilidad en Firefox previamente conocida que podría provocar un desbordamiento de pila permitiendo ejecución remota de código. Sin embargo, el código que hemos presentado no hace de hecho esto... No he tenido éxito haciendo que este código haga algo más que provocar una caída y consumo de recursos del sistema".
