Descriptions

jslock.cpp in Mozilla Firefox 3.x before 3.0.2, Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.18, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.18, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by modifying the window.__proto__.__proto__ object in a way that causes a lock on a non-native object, which triggers an assertion failure related to the OBJ_IS_NATIVE function.

jslock.cpp en Mozilla Firefox 3.x antes de 3.0.2, Firefox 2.x antes de 2.0.0.18, Thunderbird 2.x antes de 2.0.0.18, y SeaMonkey 1.x antes de 1.1.13, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (crash) y posiblemente ejecutar código de su elección mediante la modificación del objeto window.__proto__.__proto__ en el sentido en que causa un bloqueo en un objeto no nativo, lo que desencadena un fallo de afirmación, relacionado con la función OBJ_IS_NATIVE.
