DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Firefox,
Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey, which can be exploited by malicious
people to conduct spoofing attacks, bypass certain security
restrictions, disclose sensitive information, and compromise a user's
system.
1) Several unspecified errors in the browser engine can be exploited
to corrupt memory.
2) Several unspecified errors in the browser engine can be exploited
to corrupt memory.
3) Several unspecified errors in the browser engine can be exploited
to corrupt memory.
4) An error within the "CharDistributionAnalysis::HandleOneChar()"
function can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow.
5) A use-after-free error exists within the
"imgRequest::OnStopFrame()" function.
6) A use-after-free error exists within ~nsHTMLEditRules.
7) A use-after-free error exists within the
"mozilla::TrackUnionStream::EndTrack()" function.
8) A use-after-free error exists within Mesa when resizing a WebGL
canvas.
9) An error within the "gfxTextRun::ShrinkToLigatureBoundaries()"
function can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
10) An error within the "nsWindow::OnExposeEvent()" function can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
11) An error when parsing height and width values of a canvas element
can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow.
12) An error exists which can be exploited to spoof the URL displayed
in the addressbar while the page is loading.
13) A use-after-free error exists when displaying a table with many
columns and column groups.
14) An error exists within the "nsSOCKSSocketInfo::ConnectToProxy()"
function when handling SSL connection threads.
15) An error exists due to the AutoWrapperChanger class not keeping
certain objects alive during garbage collection.
16) An error related to quickstubs can be exploited to cause a
compartment mismatch and may cause the garbage collection to occur
incorrectly.
17) An error related to events in the plugin handler can be exploited
to bypass the same-origin policy.
18) An error within the "XBL.__proto__.toString()" function can be
exploited to disclose the address space layout.
19) An integer overflow error when calculating the length of a
JavaScript string concatenation can be exploited to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow.
20) An error related to XBL files containing multiple XML bindings
with SVG content can be exploited to corrupt memory.
21) An error within the "Object.prototype.__proto__()" function can
be exploited to bypass Chrome Object Wrappers (COW) and gain access
to chrome privileged functions.
22) An error related to plugin objects can be exploited to open a
chrome privileged web page.
23) A use-after-free error exists within the
XMLSerializer.serializeToStream()".
24) A use-after-free error exists within the ListenerManager when
garbage collection is forced on certain data allocated in listener
objects.
25) A use-after-free error exists within the Vibrate library related
to the domDoc pointer.
26) A use-after-free error exists in the JavaScript Proxy class
within the "obj_toSource()" function.
Successful exploitation of vulnerabilities #1 through #11, #13
through #16, and #19 through #26 may allow execution of arbitrary
code.
