CVE-2015-7179

CVE-2015-7179 describes a buffer overflow vulnerability in the VertexBufferInterface::reserveVertexSpace function within ANGLE's libGLES, affecting Mozilla Firefox before version 41.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.3 on Windows. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service through crafted OpenGL or WebGL content. With a CVSS score of 7.5, it is considered highly severe due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and potential for partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. While the vulnerability has a high FAUCET risk score, there is no evidence of active exploitation, no known public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and limited community discussion or media coverage beyond initial reporting.
