The issue is related to incorrect clearing or release of resources, potentially allowing a remote attacker to impact the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of protected information. The behavior for out-of-memory conditions was changed to crash instead of attempting to continue, in order to harden against exploitation.

Memory safety bugs were reported in Firefox, which showed evidence of memory corruption. It is presumed that with enough effort, some of these bugs could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.

The issue affects the browser engine, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service, which may result in memory corruption and application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.
