Descriptions

The Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) display algorithm in Mozilla Firefox before 22.0 does not properly handle the .com, .name, and .net top-level domains, which allows remote attackers to spoof the address bar via unspecified homograph characters.

El algoritmo de presentación Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 22.0 no maneja adecuadamente los dominios de primer nivel .com, .name, y .net, lo que permite a atacantes remotos suplantar la información en la barra de dirección a través de caracteres homógrafos no especificados.

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.
