HTTP: Multiple Browser defineSetter Code Execution

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in modern browsers. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the user.

Extended Description

Mozilla Firefox is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. Successful exploits may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. Versions prior to Firefox 3.5 and 3.0.12 are vulnerable. This vulnerability was previously covered in BID 35758 (Mozilla Firefox MFSA 2009-34, -35, -36, -37, -39, -40 Multiple Vulnerabilities) but has been assigned its own record to better document the issue.
