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 nsImageGeometryMixin class in Mozilla Firefox before 49.0, Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.4, and Thunderbird < 45.4 does not properly perform a cast of an unspecified variable during handling of INPUT elements, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site.
