Descriptions

The getUserMedia permission implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 22.0 references the URL of a top-level document instead of the URL of a specific page, which makes it easier for remote attackers to trick users into permitting camera or microphone access via a crafted web site that uses IFRAME elements.

La implementación de permisos en getUserMedia en Mozilla FireFox anterior a 22.0, referencia la URL en un documento de alto nivel en vez de la URL de una página específica, lo que facilita a atacantes remotos engañar a usuarios para que les permitan la utilización de la webcam o el micrófono a través de un sitio manipulado que emplea elementos iFrame.

Multiple memory safety issues were discovered in 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 arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. Abhishek Arya discovered multiple use-after-free bugs. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could possibly exploit these to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. Various other issues were also addressed.
