Description

The AnimationThread function in Mozilla Firefox before 41.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.3 uses an incorrect argument to the sscanf function, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.

Solution(s)

  • mozilla-firefox-esr-upgrade-38_3
  • mozilla-firefox-upgrade-41_0
