Description

A memory corruption flaw exists in Mozilla Firefox, SeaMonkey and Thunderbird. The program fails to sanitize user-supplied input when the GC or allocation or OOM reporting occurs when an object is locked, resulting in memory corruption. With a specially crafted web page, a context-dependent attacker can have an unspecified impact, potentially causing a denial of service or executing arbitrary code.
