CVE-2013-1705: Heap-based buffer underflow in the cryptojs_interpret_key_gen_type function in Mozilla Firefox before 23.0...

Heap-based buffer underflow in the cryptojs_interpret_key_gen_type function in Mozilla Firefox before 23.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.20 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF) request.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old browser memory-corruption issue. A malicious CRMF certificate request could crash Firefox or SeaMonkey, or potentially run code in the affected browser process. Business urgency is mainly legacy exposure: unsupported browsers or package-managed builds older than Firefox 23.0 or SeaMonkey 2.20. Organizations are likely exposed only where very old Mozilla Firefox or SeaMonkey versions remain in use, including legacy desktops, frozen virtual images, kiosks, or old Linux packages referenced by distribution advisories. Treat this as a high-impact legacy cleanup item, not a current emergency unless obsolete browsers are still present. Prioritize removal or upgrade of unsupported browser versions because the stated impact includes remote code execution. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox to 23.0 or later where Firefox is still used.; Upgrade SeaMonkey to 2.20 or later where SeaMonkey is still used.; Apply relevant vendor package updates for affected Linux distributions..
