Summary

The (1) AddWeightedPathSegLists and (2) SVGPathSegListSMILType::Interpolate functions in Mozilla Firefox before 42.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.4 lack status checking, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted SVG document.
