ISS X-Force Database: mozilla-xmlprototype-code-execution(30093): Multiple Mozilla products XML.prototype.hasOwnProperty code execution

Multiple Mozilla products XML.prototype.hasOwnProperty code execution

mozilla-xmlprototype-code-execution (30093)

High Risk

Description:

Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system caused by improper handling of the XML.prototype.hasOwnProperty() method. If JavaScript is enabled, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the browser to crash, if the attacker could persuade the victim to visit a malicious Web page or open a malicious email.
