The Mozilla has released security updates to address multiple vulnerabilities in their Firefox browser, including 11 critical fixes.
Among the critical fixes is for a “use after free” bug. This is where a program referencing memory after it has been freed. This can cause a program to crash. It is technically possible for hackers to exploit this vulnerability launch buffer overflow attacks.
Another critical vulnerability could allow hackers to exploit a bug in the JavaScript library to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

- Firefox 31
- Thunderbird 31
