Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.12 does not properly handle an SVG element that has a property with a watch function and an __defineSetter__ function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted document, related to a certain pointer misinterpretation.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Firefox browser memory-corruption issue. A malicious webpage or document using SVG behavior could crash the browser and may have allowed code execution. Business urgency depends on whether unsupported Firefox versions before 3.0.12 still exist in the environment. Exposure is likely limited to legacy systems running Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.12 or old vendor-packaged browser builds from 2009. The supplied sources do not identify modern affected products or current supported releases as vulnerable. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless vulnerable browser versions are found. If they are present, prioritize removal or upgrade because browser memory corruption can convert routine web browsing into endpoint compromise risk. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox to 3.0.12 or later where legacy Firefox remains deployed.; Apply relevant vendor browser updates from Mozilla, Red Hat, Fedora, SUSE, or Sun packages.; Retire unsupported legacy browsers from internet-facing or email-driven workflows..
