Description

Certain versions of Mozilla Firefox do not properly handle string operations. As a result, if an attacker can force the browser to run out of memory, a fixed return address can be overwritten and arbitrary code executed.

Solution(s)

  • mozilla-firefox-upgrade-1_0_1
  • mozilla-firefox-upgrade-latest
