The PropertyProvider::FindJustificationRange function in Mozilla Firefox before 30.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2014-1536)
Use-after-free vulnerability in the mozilla::dom::workers::WorkerPrivateParent function in Mozilla Firefox before 30.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2014-1537)
Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsTextEditRules::CreateMozBR function in Mozilla Firefox before 30.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.6, and Thunderbird before 24.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2014-1538)
Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsEventListenerManager::CompileEventHandlerInternal function in the Event Listener Manager in Mozilla Firefox before 30.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via crafted web content.

Use-after-free vulnerability in the RefreshDriverTimer::Tick*Driver function in the SMIL Animation Controller in Mozilla Firefox before 30.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.6, and Thunderbird before 24.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via crafted web content. (CVE-2014-1541)
Buffer overflow in the Speex resampler in the Web Audio subsystem in Mozilla Firefox before 30.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to a crafted AudioBuffer channel count and sample rate. (CVE-2014-1542)
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 31.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.7, and Thunderbird before 24.7 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors. (CVE-2014-1547)
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 31.0 and Thunderbird before 31.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors. (CVE-2014-1548)
The mozilla::dom::AudioBufferSourceNodeEngine::CopyFromInputBuffer function in Mozilla Firefox before 31.0 and Thunderbird before 31.0 does not properly allocate Web Audio buffer memory, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) via crafted audio content that is improperly handled during playback buffering. (CVE-2014-1549)
Use-after-free vulnerability in the MediaInputPort class in Mozilla Firefox before 31.0 and Thunderbird before 31.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) by leveraging incorrect Web Audio control-message ordering. (CVE-2014-1550)
