Descriptions

Use-after-free vulnerability in the mozVibrate implementation in the Vibrate library in Mozilla Firefox before 18.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.2, Thunderbird before 17.0.2, Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.15 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the domDoc pointer.

Vulnerabilidad después de liberación en la implementación mozVibrate en la librería Vibrate en Mozilla Firefox anterior a v18.0, Firefox ESR v17.x anterior a v17.0.2, Thunderbird anterior a v17.0.2, Thunderbird ESR v17.x anterior a v17.0.2, y SeaMonkey anterior a v2.15 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de vectores relacionados con el puntero de domDoc.

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 construction of VibrateWindowListener objects. A dangling pointer can be created that will then be sent to the VibrateWindowListener constructor. 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.
