Summary

A use-after-free vulnerability in the mozilla::DOMSVGLength::GetTearOff function in Mozilla Firefox before 32.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.1, and Thunderbird 31.x before 31.1. It allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via an SVG animation with DOM interaction that triggers incorrect cycle collection.
