CVE-2008-5021

HIGH 9.3EPSS 3.63%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.63%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

nsFrameManager in Firefox 3.x before 3.0.4, Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.18, Thunderbird 2.x before 2.0.0.18, and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by modifying properties of a file input element while it is still being initialized, then using the blur method to access uninitialized memory.
