How to fix?

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The (1) AddWeightedPathSegLists and (2) SVGPathSegListSMILType::Interpolate functions in Mozilla Firefox before 42.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.4 lack status checking, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted SVG document.
