NVDhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2013-0755
CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/416.html

Use-after-free vulnerability in the mozVibrate implementation in the Vibrate library in Mozilla Firefox before 18.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.2, Thunderbird before 17.0.2, Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.15 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the domDoc pointer.

Weakness

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
