CriticalCVSS 10.0 · v2.0—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Plan (action score 42/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 5.7% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 93.1% of all records.
  • No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: xulrunner (Debian:5.0) 1.9.0.19-12; iceape (Debian:6.0) 2.0.11-6; icedove (Debian:6.0) 3.0.11-1+squeeze3.

Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to xulrunner (Debian:5.0) 1.9.0.19-12; iceape (Debian:6.0) 2.0.11-6; icedove (Debian:6.0) 3.0.11-1+squeeze3 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsSVGPointList::AppendElement function in the implementation of SVG element lists in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.18, Thunderbird before 3.1.11, and SeaMonkey through 2.0.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a user-supplied callback.
