Database

Lack of data validation - Type confusion In firefox

Description

The IndexedDatabaseManager class in the IndexedDB implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 39.0 and Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.8 and 38.x before 38.1 misinterprets an unspecified IDBDatabase field as a pointer, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via unspecified vectors, related to a "type confusion" issue.
