## Description

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla
Firefox 4.x through 13.0, Thunderbird 5.0 through 13.0, and SeaMonkey
before 2.11 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory
corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via
unknown vectors.
In general these flaws cannot be exploited through email in the Thunderbird and
SeaMonkey products because scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in
browser or browser-like contexts in those products.
