Descriptions

The Chrome Object Wrapper (COW) implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 18.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.2, Thunderbird before 17.0.2, Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.15 does not prevent modifications to the prototype of an object, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges by referencing Object.prototype.__proto__ in a crafted HTML document.

La implementación Chrome Object Wrapper (COW) en Mozilla Firefox anterior a v18.0, Firefox ESR v17.x anterior a v17.0.2, Thunderbird before v17.0.2, Thunderbird ESR v17.x anterior a v17.0.2, y SeaMonkey anterior a v2.15 no impide modificaciones en el prototipo de un objeto, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código JavaScript arbitrario con privilegios chrome haciendo referencia a Object.prototype.__proto__ en un documento HTML manipulado.

Christoph Diehl, Christian Holler, Mats Palmgren, Chiaki Ishikawa, Bill Gianopoulos, Benoit Jacob, Gary Kwong, Robert O'Callahan, Jesse Ruderman, and Julian Seward discovered multiple memory safety issues affecting Firefox. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could possibly exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. Abhishek Arya discovered several user-after-free and buffer overflows in Firefox. An attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. Various other issues were also addressed.
