The weakness was shared 01/13/2015 by Michal Zalewski with Google as MFSA2015-02 as confirmed advisory (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at mozilla.org. The vendor cooperated in the coordination of the public release. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2014-8637 since 11/06/2014. The attack can be launched remotely.

Technical details of the vulnerability are known, but there is no available exploit. The attack technique deployed by this issue is T1592 according to MITRE ATT&CK. The advisory points out:
Google security researcher Michal Zalewski reported that when a malformed bitmap image is rendered by the bitmap decoder within a [canvas] element, memory may not always be properly initialized. The resulting image then uses this uninitialized memory during rendering, allowing data to potentially leak to web content.
