Descriptions
Race condition in the AsyncPaintWaitEvent::AsyncPaintWaitEvent function in Mozilla Firefox before 37.0.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted plugin that does not properly complete initialization.
Condición de carrera en la función AsyncPaintWaitEvent::AsyncPaintWaitEvent en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 37.0.2 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (uso después de liberación) a través de un plugin manipulado que no completa la inicialización correctamente.
Robert Kaiser discovered a use-after-free during plugin initialization in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, 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 Firefox.
