CVE-2012-4214

HIGH 9.3EPSS 6.07%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.07%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsTextEditorState::PrepareEditor function in Mozilla Firefox before 17.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.11, Thunderbird before 17.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.11, and SeaMonkey before 2.14 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-5840.
