Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.16 and 3.x before 3.0.1, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.16, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.11 use an incorrect integer data type as a CSS object reference counter in the CSSValue array (aka nsCSSValue:Array) data structure, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large number of references to a common CSS object, leading to a counter overflow and a free of in-use memory, aka ZDI-CAN-349.

Firefox anterior a versión 2.0.0.16 y versiones 3.x anteriores a 3.0.1, Thunderbird anterior a versión 2.0.0.16, y SeaMonkey anterior a versión 1.1.11, de Mozilla, utilizan un tipo de datos enteros incorrecto como contador de referencia de objeto CSS en la estructura de datos cssValue (también se conoce como nsCSSValue:Array), que permite a los atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de un gran número de referencias a un objeto CSS común, conllevando a un desbordamiento de contador y una liberación de memoria en uso, también se conoce como ZDI-CAN-349.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Mozilla Firefox. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page.
The specific flaw exists in the browser's handling reference counters to the nsCSSValue:Array class. Creating more then 65,535 references will overflow a 16-bit reference counter and therefore result in an erroneous free() while the object still exists. Properly manipulated this can result in arbitrary code execution under the context of the current user.
