CVE-2014-8640  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-362  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:12.04 firefox to version 35.0+build3-0ubuntu0.12.04.2 or higher.

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 mozilla::dom::AudioParamTimeline::AudioNodeInputValue function in the Web Audio API implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 35.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.32 does not properly restrict timeline operations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized-memory read and application crash) via crafted API calls.
