Descriptions

The WebGL subsystem in Mozilla Firefox before 20.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.5, Thunderbird before 17.0.5, Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.17 on Linux does not properly interact with Mesa drivers, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (free of unallocated memory) via unspecified vectors.

El subsistema de WebGL en Mozilla Firefox antes de v20.0, Firefox ESR v17.x antes de v17.0.5, Thunderbird antes de v17.0.5, Thunderbird ESR v17.x antes de v17.0.5 y SeaMonkey antes v2.17 en Linux no interactúa correctamente con los driver de Mesa, que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (sin memoria no asignado) a través de vectores no especificados.

Multiple security issues have been found in Iceweasel, Debian's version of the Mozilla Firefox web browser. These issues include multiple memory safety errors, missing input sanitizing vulnerabilities, use-after-free vulnerabilities, buffer overflows and other programming errors which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code, privilege escalation, information leaks or cross site scripting.
