Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsNodeUtils::LastRelease function in the table-editing user interface in the editor component in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.2, Thunderbird before 24.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.23 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering improper garbage collection.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-5618 is a memory-safety flaw in older Mozilla products. A malicious remote actor could potentially cause code execution by triggering incorrect garbage collection in the editor table-editing interface. The primary business risk is legacy Firefox, Thunderbird, or SeaMonkey installations that remain below the fixed releases. Exposure is most likely on endpoints or packaged systems still running the affected legacy Mozilla versions, including Linux distribution builds referenced by vendor advisories. Modern maintained installations should normally be past the fixed versions, but unmanaged, frozen, or embedded desktops should be checked. Treat as high priority only where affected legacy Mozilla software remains in use. For fully patched managed fleets, urgency is mainly verification. The absence of KEV listing lowers evidence of active exploitation, not technical impact. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox to 26.0 or later where applicable.; Upgrade Firefox ESR 24.x to 24.2 or later.; Upgrade Thunderbird to 24.2 or later..
