NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Exploiting this vulnerability is possible by a large carefully-crafted input, which can result in catastrophic backtracking.
