The mozilla::layers::BufferTextureClient::AllocateForSurface function in Mozilla Firefox before 36.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write of zero values, and application crash) via vectors that trigger use of DrawTarget and the Cairo library for image drawing.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
