The mozilla::dom::AudioParamTimeline::AudioNodeInputValue function in the Web Audio API implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 35.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.32 does not properly restrict timeline operations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized-memory read and application crash) via crafted API calls.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE affects older Mozilla Firefox and SeaMonkey browsers. A malicious web page could trigger a Web Audio API flaw that reads uninitialized memory and crashes the application. The sourced impact is denial of service, not confirmed code execution or data theft. Exposure is mainly legacy endpoints or packaged applications still running Firefox before 35.0 or SeaMonkey before 2.32. Modern supported Mozilla browsers should not be assumed affected from these sources. Treat this as a legacy browser hygiene issue. It can disrupt users through crashes, but the provided evidence supports denial of service only. Remediate during routine patch cycles unless unsupported browsers remain in active use. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox to 35.0 or later where applicable.; Upgrade SeaMonkey to 2.32 or later where applicable.; Apply relevant Linux distribution browser updates or backports..
