The crypto.generateCRMFRequest method in Mozilla Firefox before 28.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.25 does not properly validate a certain key type, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via vectors that trigger generation of a key that supports the Elliptic Curve ec-dual-use algorithm.

CVE-2014-1493 [CRITICAL] Firefox vulnerabilities
Title: Firefox vulnerabilities
Summary: Firefox could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it
opened a malicious website.
Benoit Jacob, Olli Pettay, Jan Varga, Jan de Mooij, Jesse Ruderman, Dan
Gohman, Christoph Diehl, Gregor Wagner, Gary Kwong, Luke Wagner, Rob
Fletcher and Makoto Kato discovered multiple memory safety issues in
Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website,
an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service
via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2014-1493, CVE-2014-1494)
Atte Kettunen discovered an out-of-bounds read during WAV file decoding.
An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service
via application crash. (CVE-2

CVE-2014-1498 [MEDIUM] CVE-2014-1498 Mozilla: crypto.generateCRMFRequest does not validate type of key (MFSA 2014-18)
CVE-2014-1498 Mozilla: crypto.generateCRMFRequest does not validate type of key (MFSA 2014-18)
Mozilla developer David Keeler reported that the crypto.generateCRFMRequest method did not correctly validate the key type of the KeyParams argument when generating ec-dual-use requests. This could lead to a crash and a denial of service (DOS) attack.
