CVE-2009-1313
The nsTextFrame::ClearTextRun function in layout/generic/nsTextFrameThebes.cpp in Mozilla Firefox 3.0.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) and probably execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.39%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
