CVE-2014-1478

30
FAUCET Score

CVE-2014-1478 describes multiple unspecified memory corruption vulnerabilities in the browser engine of Mozilla Firefox before version 27.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.24. These flaws, particularly related to the MPostWriteBarrier class and stack alignment in OdinMonkey, could allow remote attackers to trigger a denial of service (application crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code. With a CVSS score of 10.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C), this vulnerability is considered critical due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and complete impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its high severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, no known public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion or media coverage.
