Description:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Mozilla Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the JIT (Just-in-Time) compiler when returning from e.g. an "escape()" function and can be exploited to trigger a memory corruption.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.5. Other versions may also be affected.
