Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey multiple layout engine code execution
| mozilla-multiple-layout-code-execution (32704) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by multiple unspecified errors in the layout engine. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code on the system, if the attacker could persuade the victim to view a malicious Web page or email message.
