Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description	There exists a memory corruption vulnerability in Mozilla Foundation's family of browser products. The flaw exists in specific dynamic manipulations of external Document Object Model (DOM) objects, specifically comment objects, using scripting techniques. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the security context of the target browser. In an attack case where code injection is not successful, the affected application will terminate abnormally. In a more sophisticated attack where code injection results might be successful, the behavior of the target is entirely dependent on the intended function of the injected code. The code in such a case would execute within the security context of the current user.
