NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream thunderbird-debuginfo package and not the thunderbird-debuginfo package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

vmtypedarrayobject.cpp in Mozilla Firefox before 28.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.4, Thunderbird before 24.4, and SeaMonkey before 2.25 does not validate the length of the destination array before a copy operation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and application crash) by triggering incorrect use of the TypedArrayObject class.
