Descriptions

The nsNPObjWrapper::GetNewOrUsed function in dom/plugins/base/nsJSNPRuntime.cpp in Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference and memory corruption) via a crafted NPAPI plugin.

La función nsNPObjWrapper::GetNewOrUsed en dom/plugins/base/nsJSNPRuntime.cpp en Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a 45.0 y Firefox ESR 38.x en versiones anteriores a 38.7 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero no válida y corrupción de memoria) a través de un plugin NPAPI manipulado.
