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.

Mozilla Firefox before 35.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.32 do not properly initialize memory for BMP images, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory via a crafted web page that triggers the rendering of malformed BMP data within a CANVAS element.
