Descriptions
The get_tile function in Mozilla Firefox before 33.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.2, and Thunderbird 31.x before 31.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via WebM frames with invalid tile sizes that are improperly handled in buffering operations during video playback.
La función get_tile en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 33.0, Firefox ESR 31.x anterior a 31.2, y Thunderbird 31.x anterior a 31.2 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (escritura fuera de rango y caída de aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de temas WebM con tamaños de 'tile' inválidos que se manejan indebidamente en operaciones de buffer durante la reproducción de vídeos.
