Discussion

Mozilla Firefox CVE-2009-3379 Multiple Remote Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities

Mozilla Firefox is prone to multiple remote memory-corruption vulnerabilities.

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

NOTE: These issues were previously covered in BID 36843 (Mozilla Firefox and SeaMonkey MFSA 2009-52 through -64 Multiple Vulnerabilities), but have been assigned their own record to better document them.
