Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 42.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.4, when a Java plugin is enabled, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect garbage collection and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Java applet that deallocates an in-use JavaScript wrapper.

Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a 42.0 y Firefox ESR 38.x en versiones anteriores a 38.4, cuando el plugin Java esta habilitado, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (garbage collection no válida y caída de la aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un applet Java manipulado que libera un wrapper JavaScript en uso.

Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox. Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. A same-origin policy bypass flaw was found in the way Firefox handled certain cross-origin resource sharing requests. A web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to disclose sensitive information.
