firefox: Use-after-free in compositor potentially allows code execution

A use-after-free vulnerability can occur in the compositor during certain graphics operations when a raw pointer is used instead of a reference counted one. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 52.7.3 and Firefox < 59.0.2.

Mozilla: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 45.5 (MFSA 2016-90)

Memory safety bugs were reported in Firefox 49 and Firefox ESR 45.4. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 45.5, Firefox ESR < 45.5, and Firefox < 50.

Mozilla: Vorbis audio processing out of bounds write (MFSA 2018-08)

An out of bounds memory write while processing Vorbis audio data was reported through the Pwn2Own contest. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 59.0.1, Firefox ESR < 52.7.2, and Thunderbird < 52.7.

The libtremor library has the same flaw as CVE-2018-5146. This library is used by Firefox in place of libvorbis on Android and ARM platforms. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 52.7.2 and Firefox < 59.0.1.

Mozilla: Miscellaneous memory safety hazards (rv:47.0) (MFSA 2016-49)

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 47.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

libevent: Stack-buffer overflow in evutil_parse_sockaddr_port()

Stack-based buffer overflow in the evutil_parse_sockaddr_port function in evutil.c in libevent before 2.1.6-beta allows attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via vectors involving a long string in brackets in the ip_as_string argument.

Mozilla: resource: // documents can load privileged pages (MFSA 2015-33)

Mozilla Firefox before 37.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.6, and Thunderbird before 31.6 do not properly restrict resource: URLs, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges by leveraging the ability to bypass the Same Origin Policy, as demonstrated by the resource: URL associated with PDF.js.

Mozilla: Miscellaneous memory safety hazards (rv:31.6) (MFSA 2015-30)

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 37.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.6, and Thunderbird before 31.6 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

Mozilla: Use-after-free when using the Fluendo MP3 GStreamer plugin (MFSA 2015-31)

Use-after-free vulnerability in the AppendElements function in Mozilla Firefox before 37.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.6, and Thunderbird before 31.6 on Linux, when the Fluendo MP3 plugin for GStreamer is used, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via a crafted MP3 file.

Mozilla: Same-origin bypass through anchor navigation (MFSA 2015-40)

Mozilla Firefox before 37.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.6, and Thunderbird before 31.6 allow remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges via vectors involving anchor navigation, a similar issue to CVE-2015-0818.

Mozilla: Bad casting from the BasicThebesLayer to BasicContainerLayer (MFSA 2014-89)

Mozilla Firefox before 34.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.3, Thunderbird before 31.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.31 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging an incorrect cast from the BasicThebesLayer data type to the BasicContainerLayer data type.

Mozilla: Buffer overflow while parsing media content (MFSA 2014-88)

Stack-based buffer overflow in the mozilla::FileBlockCache::Read function in Mozilla Firefox before 34.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.3, Thunderbird before 31.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.31 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted media content.

Mozilla: Use-after-free during HTML5 parsing (MFSA 2014-87)

Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsHtml5TreeOperation function in xul.dll in Mozilla Firefox before 34.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.3, Thunderbird before 31.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.31 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by adding a second root element to an HTML5 document during parsing.

Mozilla: XMLHttpRequest crashes with some input streams (MFSA 2014-85)

The XMLHttpRequest.prototype.send method in Mozilla Firefox before 34.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.3, Thunderbird before 31.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.31 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted JavaScript object.

Mozilla: Miscellaneous memory safety hazards (rv:31.3) (MFSA 2014-83)

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 34.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.3, Thunderbird before 31.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.31 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

Mozilla: Use-after-free setting text directionality (MFSA 2014-72)

Use-after-free vulnerability in DirectionalityUtils.cpp in Mozilla Firefox before 32.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.8 and 31.x before 31.1, and Thunderbird 24.x before 24.8 and 31.x before 31.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via text that is improperly handled during the interaction between directionality resolution and layout.

Mozilla: Miscellaneous memory safety hazards (rv:rv:24.8) (MFSA 2014-67)

Unspecified vulnerability in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 32.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.8 and 31.x before 31.1, and Thunderbird 24.x before 24.8 and 31.x before 31.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.
