CVE-2015-4475
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—
The mozilla::AudioSink function in Mozilla Firefox before 40.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.2 mishandles inconsistent sample formats within MP3 audio data, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a malformed file.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
- Base score: 7.5
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 4.77%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 92
- Score date: 10/11/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
