Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in the nsSaveAsCharset::DoCharsetConversion function in Mozilla Firefox before 19.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.3, Thunderbird before 17.0.3, Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.16 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica en la función nsSaveAsCharset::DoCharsetConversion en Mozilla Firefox anterior a v19.0, Firefox ESR v17.x anterior a v17.0.3, Thunderbird anterior a v17.0.3, Thunderbird ESR v17.x anterior a v17.0.3, y SeaMonkey anterior a v2.16, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario mediante vectores desconocidos.

USN-1729-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. This update introduced a regression which sometimes resulted in freezes and crashes when using multiple tabs with images displayed. This update fixes the problem. Olli Pettay, Christoph Diehl, Gary Kwong, Jesse Ruderman, Andrew McCreight, Joe Drew, Wayne Mery, Alon Zakai, Christian Holler, Gary Kwong, Luke Wagner, Terrence Cole, Timothy Nikkel, Bill McCloskey, and Nicolas Pierron 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. Various other issues were also addressed.
