Descriptions
Use-after-free vulnerability in the serializeToStream implementation in the XMLSerializer component in Mozilla Firefox before 18.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.12 and 17.x before 17.0.2, Thunderbird before 17.0.2, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.12 and 17.x before 17.0.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.15 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted web content.
Vulnerabilidad de uso después de la liberación en la implementación del serializeToStream en el componente XMLSerializer en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 18.0, Firefox ESR 10.x anterior a 10.0.12 y 17.x anterior a 17.0.2, Thunderbird anterior a 17.0.2, Thunderbird ESR 10.x anterior a 10.0.12 y 17.x anterior a 17.0.2, y SeaMonkey anterior a 2.15, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un contenido web modificado.
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 XML serialization of the DOM. A certain method used during serialization is provided by the user and can be made to create a dangling pointer. By abusing this behavior an attacker can ensure this memory is under control and leverage the situation to achieve remote code execution under the context of the user running the browser.
