Use-after-free vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 17.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.11, Thunderbird before 17.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.11, and SeaMonkey before 2.14 on Mac OS X allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an HTML document.
Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación en Mozilla Firefox antes de 17.0, Firefox ESR 10.x antes de 10.0.11, Thunderbird antes de 17.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x antes de 10.0.11, y SeaMonkey antes de 2.14 en Mac OS X permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un documento HTML.
Gary Kwong, Jesse Ruderman, Christian Holler, Bob Clary, Kyle Huey, Ed Morley, Chris Lord, Boris Zbarsky, Julian Seward, Bill McCloskey, and Andrew McCreight discovered several memory corruption flaws in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked into opening a malicious website and had JavaScript enabled, an attacker could exploit these to execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the context of another website or arbitrary code as the user invoking the program. Atte Kettunen discovered a buffer overflow while rendering GIF format images. An attacker could exploit this to possibly execute arbitrary code as the user invoking Thunderbird. Various other issues were also addressed.
