Descriptions

Double free vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.7, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.21, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.15 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via "cloned XUL DOM elements which were linked as a parent and child," which are not properly handled during garbage collection.

Vulnerabilidad de doble liberación en Mozilla Firefox anteriores a v3.0.7, Thunderbird anteriores a v2.0.0.21, y SeaMonkey anteriores a v1.1.15 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código a su elección a través de "elementos XUL DOM clonados lo cuales son enlazados como padre e hijo", lo cual no es correctamente manejado durante la recolección de basura.

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 during the browsers garbage collection process. When multiple DOM elements are cloned and linked to one another and the browser is reloaded, a memory corruption occurs resulting in a double free. This can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current user.
