Descriptions

Integer overflow in Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x before 3.5.11 and 3.6.x before 3.6.7, Thunderbird 3.0.x before 3.0.6 and 3.1.x before 3.1.1, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large selection attribute in a XUL tree element, which triggers a use-after-free.

Un desbordamiento de enteros en Firefox versiones 3.5.x anteriores a 3.5.11 y versiones 3.6.x anteriores a 3.6.7, Thunderbird versiones 3.0.x anteriores a 3.0.6 y versiones 3.1.x anteriores a 3.1.1, y SeaMonkey anterior a versión 2.0.6, de Mozilla, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de un atributo de selección grande en un elemento del árbol XUL, lo que desencadena un uso de la memoria previamente liberada.

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 or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of XUL <tree> element's "selection" attribute. There is an integer overflow when calculating the bounds of a new selection range. When calling adjustSelection on this manged range both ranges are deleted leaving a dangling reference. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the browser.
