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 watch implementation in the JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox before 46.0, Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.8, and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (generation-count overflow, out-of-bounds HashMap write access, and application crash) via a crafted web site.
