CVE-2015-7176

Publication date 22 September 2015

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The AnimationThread function in Mozilla Firefox before 41.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.3 uses an incorrect argument to the sscanf function, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors.
