Descriptions

The Chrome Object Wrapper (COW) implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 21.0, Firefox ESR 17.x before 17.0.6, Thunderbird before 17.0.6, and Thunderbird ESR 17.x before 17.0.6 does not prevent acquisition of chrome privileges during calls to content level constructors, which allows remote attackers to bypass certain read-only restrictions and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted web site.

La implementación Chrome Object Wrapper (COW) en Mozilla Firefox anterior a v21.0, Firefox ESR v17.x anterior a v17.0.6, Thunderbird anterior a v17.0.6, y Thunderbird ESR v17.x anterior a v17.0.6 no previene la adquisición de los privilegios de chrome durante las llamadas al contenido de los constructores, lo que permite a atacantes remotos eludir ciertas restricciones de solo lectura y llevar a cabo ataques de tipo XSS (cross-site-scripting) mediante un sitio web especialmente diseñado.

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.
