| Detailed Description |
The version of Mozilla Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 52.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by an integer overflow condition in the nsGlobalWindow::CreateImageBitmap() function within file dom/base/nsGlobalWindow.cpp due to improper validation of certain input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to corrupt memory, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
* Note: This check requires an account with Guest or upper privileges which can access the registry of the remote host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
