RISK: High Risk
TYPE: Clients - Browsers
Multiple weaknesses and vulnerabilities have been identified in Mozilla Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions and compromise a user's system.
- Some unspecified errors can be exploited to corrupt memory.
- An error in the implementation of the "window.location" JavaScript object when creating named frames can be exploited to bypass the same-origin policy and e.g. conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
- An integer underflow error exists within the Regular Expression engine when evaluating certain regular expressions.
- A malicious application or extension could be downloaded and executed if a user is convinced into holding down the "Enter" key via e.g. a malicious game.
- An error within WebGL's ANGLE library does not properly check for return values from the "GrowAtomTable()" function and can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by sending a series of requests.
- An unspecified error within WebGL can be exploited to corrupt memory.
- An unspecified error within the YARR regular expression library can be exploited to corrupt memory.
- An error exists within the JSSubScriptLoader, which incorrectly unwraps "XPCNativeWrappers". This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into installing a malicious plug-in.
- A use-after-free error existing when parsing OGG headers.
- A weakness exists when handling multiple tabs and can be exploited to detect keystrokes sent to another tab.
NOTE: Additionally, a weakness exists when handling the "Location" header, which can lead to response splitting attacks when visiting a vulnerable web server.
