Mozilla Firefox Array.reduceRight() Integer Overflow

Description

This module exploits a vulnerability found in Mozilla Firefox 3.6. When an array object is configured with a large length value, the reduceRight() method may cause an invalid index being used, allowing arbitrary remote code execution. Please note that the exploit requires a longer amount of time (compare to a typical browser exploit) in order to gain control of the machine.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
