Mozilla Firefox before 42.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.4, when a Java plugin is enabled, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect garbage collection and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted Java applet that deallocates an in-use JavaScript wrapper.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Firefox issue affecting versions before Firefox 42.0 and Firefox ESR 38.4 when the Java plugin is enabled. A malicious Java applet could crash the browser and possibly run code. Business risk is mainly in old desktop or server-browser environments still allowing Java browser plugins. Exposure is most likely in legacy systems running unsupported Firefox or ESR builds with the Java plugin enabled. Modern environments without Java browser plugin support are unlikely to be affected based on the provided sources. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item, not an internet-wide emergency from the provided evidence. Prioritize any environment that still permits Java applets in old Firefox builds, especially shared workstations, kiosks, or legacy business systems. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox to 42.0 or later where applicable.; Upgrade Firefox ESR to 38.4 or later where applicable.; Disable or remove the Java browser plugin where still present..
