CVE-2013-1723: Mozilla Firefox

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 1.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The NativeKey widget in Mozilla Firefox before 24.0, Thunderbird before 24.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.21 processes key messages after destruction by a dispatched event listener, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) by leveraging incorrect event usage after widget-memory reallocation.
