Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Mozilla Firefox. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
A remote user can create specially crafted HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will trigger a buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system. The code will run with the privileges of the target user. HTML that that invokes the Script object can modify XPCNativeWrappers so that, when the target user subsequently executes a chrome function, arbitrary Javascript can be executed.
This vulnerability is similar to MFSA 2007-25 (CVE-2007-3738; Alert ID 1018414).
