CVE-2006-5159
Estado: ModificadaAlta (7.5)—
** IMPUGNADA ** Desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en Mozilla Firefox permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección mediante vectores no especificados implicando JavaScript. NOTA: el vendedor e investigadores originales han liberado un comentario de continuación impugnando la severidad de este asunto, en el cual el investigador afirma que "hemos mencionado que hubo una vulnerabilidad en Firefox previamente conocida que podría provocar un desbordamiento de pila permitiendo ejecución remota de código. Sin embargo, el código que hemos presentado no hace de hecho esto... No he tenido éxito haciendo que este código haga algo más que provocar una caída y consumo de recursos del sistema".
CVSS
- Versión: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
