Vulnerabilidad no especificada en el motor del navegador en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 32.0, Firefox ESR 24.x anterior a 24.8 y 31.x anterior a 31.1 y Thunderbird 24.x anterior a 24.8 y 31.x anterior a 31.1 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de la memoria y caída de la aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores desconocidos.

Jan de Mooij, Christian Holler, Karl Tomlinson, Randell Jesup, Gary Kwong, Jesse Ruderman and JW Wang discovered multiple memory safety issues in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted message with scripting enabled, 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 Thunderbird. Abhishek Arya discovered a use-after-free during DOM interactions with SVG. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted message with scripting enabled, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird.
