CVE-2014-1524

CRITICAL 9.8EPSS 7.75%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.75%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The nsXBLProtoImpl::InstallImplementation function in Mozilla Firefox before 29.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.5, Thunderbird before 24.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.26 does not properly check whether objects are XBL objects, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) via crafted JavaScript code that accesses a non-XBL object as if it were an XBL object.
