Description

The browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 8.0 and Thunderbird before 8.0 does not properly handle links from SVG mpath elements to non-SVG elements, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
