Summary
nspr vulnerability
Details

Abhishek Arya discovered that NSPR incorrectly handled certain console functions. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause NSPR to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the vulnerability to a denial of service.
