Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Mozilla Firefox 29.0.1 (Web Browser). This affects an unknown code block. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119.

This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 30.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

The weakness was disclosed 06/10/2014 by Gary Kwong, Jesse Ruderman, Christian Holler, Gregor Wagner, Benoit Jacob, Karl Tomlinson and Jeff Walden as MFSA2014-48 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is shared at mozilla.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2014-1534 since 01/16/2014. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. The advisory points out:

Mozilla developers and community identified identified and fixed several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 74444 (FreeBSD : mozilla -- multiple vulnerabilities (888a0262-f0d9-11e3-ba0c-b4b52fce4ce8)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
