CVE-2009-1837

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 3.0.11

Description: A race condition in the NPObjWrapper NewResolve function might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a page transition during Java applet loading, related to a use-after-free vulnerability for memory associated with a destroyed Java object.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 3.0.11, update to version 3.0.11 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling Java applet loading until a patch is available. Restrict access to pages that load Java applets to minimize the risk of exploitation.
