NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The IndexedDatabaseManager class in the IndexedDB implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 39.0 and Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.8 and 38.x before 38.1 misinterprets an unspecified IDBDatabase field as a pointer, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via unspecified vectors, related to a "type confusion" issue.
