Discussion

Mozilla Firefox Flash Player Unloading Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Mozilla Firefox is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability.

Successful exploits may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

Versions prior to Firefox 3.5.1 and 3.0.12 are vulnerable.

This vulnerability was previously covered in BID 35758 (Mozilla Firefox MFSA 2009-34, -35, -36, -37, -39, -40 Multiple Vulnerabilities) but has been assigned its own record to better document the issue.
