Title: Mozilla Firefox JavaScript Web-Workers Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Mozilla Firefox is a browser available for various platforms.
The application is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability that occurs in the creation of JavaScript web-workers and may allow attackers to create a set object whereby the memory could be freed before the object is used.
Successful exploits may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 36843 (Mozilla Firefox and SeaMonkey MFSA 2009-52 through -64 Multiple Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own record to better document it.
