This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Mozilla Firefox. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey are prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. The issue occurs when parsing specially malformed files and can be exploited to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. NOTE: This issue was previously discussed in BID 49166 (Mozilla Firefox/Thunderbird/SeaMonkey MFSA 2011-29 through -30 Multiple Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it.
