Multiple security issues was identified and fixed in mozilla firefox: Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code . Security researcher Cody Crews reported a method to call a content level constructor that allows for this constructor to have chrome privileged accesss. This affects chrome object wrappers and allows for write actions on objects when only read actions should be allowed. This can lead to cross-site scripting attacks . Security researcher Nils reported a use-after-free when resizing video while playing. This could allow for arbitrary code execution . Mozilla community member Ms2ger discovered that some DOMSVGZoomEvent functions are used without being properly initialized, causing uninitialized memory to be used when they are called by web content. This could lead to a information leakage to sites depending on the contents of this uninitialized memory . Security researcher Abhishek Arya of the Google Chrome Security Team used the Address Sanitizer tool to discover a series of use-after-free, out of bounds read, and invalid write problems rated as moderate to critical as security issues in shipped software. Some of these issues are potentially exploitable, allowing for remote code execution. We would also like to thank Abhishek for reporting additional use-after-free flaws in dir=auto code introduced during Firefox development. These were fixed before general release . The mozilla firefox packages has been upgraded to the latest ESR version which is unaffected by these security flaws.
