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.

An integer overflow in "createImageBitmap()" was reported through the Pwn2Own contest. The fix for this vulnerability disables the experimental extensions to the "createImageBitmap" API. This function runs in the content sandbox, requiring a second vulnerability to compromise a user's computer. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 52.0.1 and Firefox < 52.0.1.
