Last modified

CVE-2008-5013 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Mozilla Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.18 and SeaMonkey 1.x before 1.1.13 do not properly check when the Flash module has been dynamically unloaded properly, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SWF file that "dynamically unloads itself from an outside JavaScript function," which triggers an access of an expired memory address.. EPSS estimates a 4.81% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
