CVE-2014-8640: Mozilla Firefox

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 2.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The mozilla::dom::AudioParamTimeline::AudioNodeInputValue function in the Web Audio API implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 35.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.32 does not properly restrict timeline operations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized-memory read and application crash) via crafted API calls.

Affected products

  • Mozilla Firefox: up to and including 34.0.5
  • Mozilla Seamonkey: up to and including 2.31
  • Opensuse Opensuse: version 13.1 only; version 13.2 only
