Discussion

Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird/Seamonkey CVE-2012-3983 Memory Corruption Vulnerability

Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird and Seamonkey are prone to a remote memory-corruption vulnerability.

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: This issue was previously discussed in BID 55856 (Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird/SeaMonkey MFSA 2012-74 through -87 Multiple Vulnerabilities), but have been moved to their own record to better document them.

These issues are fixed in:

Firefox 16
Firefox ESR 10.0.8
Thunderbird 16
Thunderbird ESR 10.0.8
SeaMonkey 2.13
