Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. Heap-based buffer overflow in the nsCaseTransformTextRunFactory::TransformString function in Mozilla Firefox before 49.0, Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.4, and Thunderbird < 45.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (boolean out-of-bounds write) or possibly have unspecified other impact via Unicode characters that are mishandled during text conversion.
