CVE-2017-7805
Published: Jun 11, 2018
Modified: Aug 5, 2024
Description
During TLS 1.2 exchanges, handshake hashes are generated which point to a message buffer. This saved data is used for later messages but in some cases, the handshake transcript can exceed the space available in the current buffer, causing the allocation of a new buffer. This leaves a pointer pointing to the old, freed buffer, resulting in a use-after-free when handshake hashes are then calculated afterwards. This can result in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 56, Firefox ESR < 52.4, and Thunderbird < 52.4.
| Vendor | Product | Versions |

Mozilla | Firefox | affected unspecified - < 56 |
Mozilla | Firefox ESR | affected unspecified - < 52.4 |
Mozilla | Thunderbird | affected unspecified - < 52.4 |
