## Description

The WebGLBuffer::FindMaxUshortElement function in Mozilla Firefox 4.x
through 11.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.4, Thunderbird 5.0 through 11.0,
Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.4, and SeaMonkey before 2.9 calls the
FindMaxElementInSubArray function with incorrect template arguments, which
allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from video memory
via a crafted WebGL.drawElements call.
