Descriptions

The nsXBLProtoImpl::InstallImplementation function in Mozilla Firefox before 29.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.5, Thunderbird before 24.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.26 does not properly check whether objects are XBL objects, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) via crafted JavaScript code that accesses a non-XBL object as if it were an XBL object.

La función nsXBLProtoImpl::InstallImplementation en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 29.0, Firefox ESR 24.x anterior a 24.5, Thunderbird anterior a 24.5 y SeaMonkey anterior a 2.26 no comprueba debidamente si objetos son objetos XBL, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de buffer) a través de código Java manipulado que accede a un objeto no XBL como si fuera un objeto XBL.
