HTTP: Firefox Navigator Object Code Execution

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Mozilla Firefox. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.

Extended Description

Mozilla Firefox is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it to create new JavaScript objects. Successful exploits may allow an attacker to crash the application or execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the affected application. This issue was previously discussed in BID 19181 (Mozilla Multiple Products Remote Vulnerabilities). It has been assigned a separate BID because new information has become available.
