New! CVE Severity Now Using CVSS v3

Description

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 16.0, Thunderbird before 16.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.13 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.
