Descriptions

The nsSOCKSSocketInfo::ConnectToProxy function 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 ensure thread safety for SSL sessions, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted data, as demonstrated by e-mail message data.

La función nsSOCKSSocketInfo::ConnectToProxy en Mozilla Firefox anterior a v18.0, Firefox ESR v17.x anterior a v17.0.2, Thunderbird anterior a v17.0.2, Thunderbird ESR v17.x anterior a v17.0.2, y SeaMonkey anterior a v2.15 no asegura la seguridad de sesiones SSL, lo que permite a atacantes remtos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de datos manipulados, como se ha demostrado a través de los datos de un correo electrónico.

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.
