Vulnerability Insight:
Use-after-free when textures are used in WebGL operations after recycle pool destruction
Mozilla community member jomo reported a use-after-free crash when
processing WebGL content. This issue was caused by the use of a texture after its recycle
pool has been destroyed during WebGL operations, which frees the memory associated with
the texture. This results in a potentially exploitable crash when the texture is later
called.

Affected Software/OS:
Firefox version(s) below 47.

Solution:
The vendor has released an update. Please see the reference(s) for more information.
