HTTP: Mozilla Firefox JIT escape Function Memory Corruption
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Mozilla Firefox Browser Engine. Attackers can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the victim.
Extended Description
Mozilla Firefox is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. Successful exploits may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. The issue affects Firefox 3.5; other versions may also be vulnerable. NOTE: Remote code execution was confirmed in Firefox 3.5 running on Microsoft Windows XP SP2. A crash was observed in Firefox 3.5 on Windows XP SP3. UPDATE (July 15, 2009): Remote code execution is also possible in Firefox 3.5 running on Apple Mac OS X.
