ISS X-Force Database: mozilla-javascript-eng-code-execution(35459): Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey JavaScript engine code execution

Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey JavaScript engine code execution

mozilla-javascript-eng-code-execution (35459)

High Risk

Description:

Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by multiple unspecified memory corruption vulnerabilities related to the JavaScript engine. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the affected system or cause a denial of service, if the attacker could persuade a victim to visit a malicious Web page or open a malicious HTML email.
