Descriptions

The Web Worker functionality in Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x before 3.0.18 and 3.5.x before 3.5.8, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.3, does not properly handle array data types for posted messages, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

La funcionalidad Web Worker en Mozilla Firefox v3.0.x anterior a la v3.0.18 y 3.5.x anterior a la v3.5.8, y SeaMonkey anteriores a la v2.0.3, no manejan de forma adecuada los tipos de datos array para mensajes posteado, lo que permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria dinámica y caída de la aplicación) o posiblemente ejecución de código de su elección a través de vectores no especificados.

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 within the implementation of web worker threads. Due to mishandling the array data type while processing posted messages, a web worker thread can be made to corrupt heap memory. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the user running the browser.
