NVD Description

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

Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.26 and 4.x through 9.0, Thunderbird before 3.1.18 and 5.0 through 9.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.7 do not properly initialize nsChildView data structures, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Ogg Vorbis file.
