Title: Mozilla Firefox and SeaMonkey 'libpr0n' GIF Parser Heap Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Mozilla Firefox is a web browser. SeaMonkey is an open-source browser, email client, newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.
The applications are prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because they fail to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. This issue occurs in the 'libpr0n' GIF image parser when handling color map changes in the parser's 'gif_image_header' section.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code and to cause denial-of-service conditions by tricking a victim into visiting a malicious webpage.
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.
