CVE-2015-0820  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-284  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 firefox to version 36.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.4 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:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Mozilla Firefox before 36.0 does not properly restrict transitions of JavaScript objects from a non-extensible state to an extensible state, which allows remote attackers to bypass a Caja Compiler sandbox protection mechanism or a Secure EcmaScript sandbox protection mechanism via a crafted web site.
