This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Mozilla Firefox. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the handling of ClearKey encrypted media. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before writing to memory.
