Mozilla Firefox Floating Point Memory Allocation

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user’s system. The vulnerability is caused due to an array indexing error while allocating space for floating point numbers. This can be exploited to trigger a memory corruption when a specially crafted floating point number is processed. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
