HTTP: Mozilla Firefox Onreadystatechange Use After Free
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Mozilla Firefox Web Browser. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
Extended Description
Mozilla Firefox before 22.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.7, Thunderbird before 17.0.7, and Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.7 do not properly handle onreadystatechange events in conjunction with page reloading, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site that triggers an attempt to execute data at an unmapped memory location.
