CVE-2016-1956

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 45.0 on Linux

Description The issue is related to errors in resource management in the Intel video driver used by Firefox. It allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, which can result in memory consumption or stack memory corruption, by triggering the use of a WebGL shader.

Recommendations For Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 45.0 on Linux, update to version 45.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling WebGL to minimize the risk of exploitation.
