Descriptions

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 22.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

Múltiples vulnerabilidades no especificadas en el motor del navegador de Mozilla Firefox anterior a v22.0 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de la aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores desconocidos.

Multiple memory safety issues were discovered in Firefox. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could possibly exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. Abhishek Arya discovered multiple use-after-free bugs. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could possibly exploit these to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox.
