Mozilla Firefox CSS font-face
-- Vulnerability Details:

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on

vulnerable installations of Mozilla Firefox. User interaction is

required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a

malicious page or open a malicious file.



The specific flaw exists within handling of references to external font

resources. A value is used as a 16 bit integer in an array allocation

and later as 32 bit when iterating over and then populating these

fields. By creating enough references, a remote attacker can exploit

this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the

browser.Read more at www.criticalwatch.com
