Descriptions

The nsImageGeometryMixin class in Mozilla Firefox before 49.0, Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.4, and Thunderbird < 45.4 does not properly perform a cast of an unspecified variable during handling of INPUT elements, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site.

La clase nsImageGeometryMixin en Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a la 49.0, Firefox ESR en versiones 45.x anteriores a la 45.4 y Thunderbird en versiones anteriores a la 45.4 no devuelve correctamente una variable no especificada durante el manejo de los elementos INPUT, lo que permite que los atacantes remotos ejecuten código arbitrario mediante un sitio web manipulado.
