CVE-2009-1832: Code Injection

Published Jun 1, 2009
·
Updated

Mozilla developers and community members identified and fixed several stability bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these crashes showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.

Boris Zbarsky reported a method to trigger double frame construction which could lead to memory corruption.

Other sources

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.11, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.22, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.17 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors involving "double frame construction."
