Description Petr Matousek 2011-03-22 19:58:13 UTC 
An uninitialized pointer use flaw was found in the SPICE Firefox plug-in. If a user were tricked into visiting a malicious web page with Firefox while the SPICE plug-in is enabled, it could cause Firefox to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox.
