Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. 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.
