Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2013-01-05 13:43:01 UTC
Security researcher regenrecht reported via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative a use-after-free within the ListenerManager when garbage collection is forced after data in listener objects have been allocated in some circumstances. This results in a use-after-free which can lead to arbitrary code execution.
