Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. The WebGL implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 36.0 does not properly allocate memory for copying an unspecified string to a shader's compilation log, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via crafted WebGL content.
