Description

Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine (ANGLE), as used in Mozilla Firefox before 7.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.4, does not validate the return value of a GrowAtomTable function call, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors that trigger a memory-allocation error and a resulting buffer overflow.

Affected products

• Mozilla Seamonkey: before 2.4 — fixed in 2.4

Upgrade to a fixed version: Mozilla Firefox 7.0; Mozilla Seamonkey 2.4. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
