Descriptions

The nsDisplayList::HitTest function in Mozilla Firefox before 48.0 and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.3 mishandles rendering display transformation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site that leverages "type confusion."

La función nsDisplayList::HitTest en Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a 48.0 y Firefox ESR 45.x en versiones anteriores a 45.3 no maneja correctamente transformación de visualización de renderizado, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un sitio web manipulado que aprovecha "type confusion."
