CVE-2016-1974
|
| Summary | Security researcher Ronald Crane reported an out-of-bounds read following a failed allocation in the HTML parser while working with unicode strings. This can also affect the parsing of XML and SVG format data. This leads to a potentially exploitable crash. In general this flaw cannot be exploited through email in the Thunderbird product because scripting is disabled, but is potentially a risk in browser or browser-like contexts. |
