How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:7 firefox to version 0:38.5.0-3.0.1.el7_2 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2015-2657.

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.

Integer overflow in the mozilla::layers::BufferTextureClient::AllocateForSurface function in Mozilla Firefox before 43.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering a graphics operation that requires a large texture allocation.
