MetricsAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 56
Description The issue is related to a JavaScript parser vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox, which involves reading data beyond buffer boundaries in memory. This can potentially allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to protected information or cause a denial of service. The vulnerability usually results in a non-exploitable crash but can leak a limited amount of information from memory if it matches JavaScript identifier syntax.
Recommendations For versions prior to 56, update to version 56 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive information until the update is applied.
