Discussion

Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird/SeaMonkey CVE-2012-4190 Memory Corruption Vulnerability

Mozilla Firefox, SeaMonkey, and Thunderbird are prone to a 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 55889 (Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird/SeaMonkey MFSA 2012-88/89 Multiple Vulnerabilities), but have been moved to their own record to better document them.

These issues are fixed in:

Firefox 16.0.1
Thunderbird 16.0.1
SeaMonkey 2.13.1
