The nsDisplayList::HitTest function in Mozilla Firefox before 48.0 and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.3 mishandles rendering display transformation, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site that leverages type confusion.
Weakness
The product does not correctly convert an object, resource, or structure from one type to a different type.
