Descriptions

Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsEditor::IsPreformatted function in editor/libeditor/base/nsEditor.cpp in Mozilla Firefox before 19.0.2, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.4, Thunderbird before 17.0.4, Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.4, and SeaMonkey before 2.16.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving an execCommand call.

Vulnerabilidad en la gestión de recursos en la función nsEditor::IsPreformatted en editor/libeditor/base/nsEditor.cpp en Mozilla Firefox anterior a v19.0.2, Firefox ESR v17.x anterior a v17.0.4, Thunderbird anterior a v17.0.4, Thunderbird ESR v17.x anterior a v17.0.4, y SeaMonkey anterior a v2.16.1 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores relacionados con la llamada execCommand.

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 handling of nsHTMLEditRules objects. By manipulating a document's elements an attacker can force a dangling pointer to be reused after it has been freed. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
