Memory Allocation Vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox

CVE-2016-1974 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:M/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

The nsScannerString::AppendUnicodeTo function in Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.7 does not verify that memory allocation succeeds, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via crafted Unicode data in an HTML, XML, or SVG document.
