New! CVE Severity Now Using CVSS v3

The calculated severity for CVEs has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. CVEs that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.

Description

The Web workers implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 27.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.24 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving termination of a worker process that has performed a cross-thread object-passing operation in conjunction with use of asm.js.
