Descriptions

The Web workers implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 27.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.24 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving termination of a worker process that has performed a cross-thread object-passing operation in conjunction with use of asm.js.

La implementación Web Workers en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 27.0 y SeaMonkey anterior a 2.24 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores que involucran una terminación de un proceso worker que ha realizado una operación de paso de objeto entre hilos en conjunción con el uso de asm.js

Christian Holler, Terrence Cole, Jesse Ruderman, Gary Kwong, Eric Rescorla, Jonathan Kew, Dan Gohman, Ryan VanderMeulen, Carsten Book, Andrew Sutherland, Byron Campen, Nicholas Nethercote, Paul Adenot, David Baron, Julian Seward and Sotaro Ikeda discovered multiple memory safety issues in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. Various other issues were also addressed.
