The texImage2D implementation in the WebGL subsystem in Mozilla Firefox before 17.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.11, Thunderbird before 17.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.11, and SeaMonkey before 2.14 does not properly interact with Mesa drivers, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via function calls involving certain values of the level parameter.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Mozilla WebGL memory-corruption issue tied to interaction with Mesa graphics drivers. A remote attacker could crash the application or potentially run code through crafted WebGL function calls. Business urgency depends on whether any legacy Firefox, Thunderbird, or SeaMonkey installations remain in use. Exposure is mainly legacy endpoints, kiosks, lab systems, or frozen Linux images using affected Mozilla versions, especially where Mesa drivers are present. Modern supported Mozilla versions should not be affected based on the fixed-version boundaries in the source bundle. Prioritize this where legacy Mozilla software remains in production. The vulnerability is old, but the impact can be severe on unpatched systems because it includes possible remote code execution and application crashes. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Mozilla products to the fixed versions or newer.; Check operating-system vendor advisories for packaged Mozilla updates.; Remove unsupported Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey builds from managed endpoints..
