Descriptions

PDF.js in Mozilla Firefox before 25.0 and Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.1 does not properly handle the appending of an IFRAME element, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files or execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges by using this element within an embedded PDF object.

PDF.js en Mozilla Firefox anterior a la versión 25.0 y Firefox ESR.x anterior a 24.1 no maneja adecuadamente el anexo de un elemento IFRAME, lo que permite a atacantes remotos leer archivos arbitrarios o ejecutar código JavaScript con los privilegios de chrome mediante el uso de este elemento dentro de un objeto PDF incrustado.

Multiple memory safety issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to 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. Jordi Chancel discovered that HTML select elements could display arbitrary content. An attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct URL spoofing or clickjacking attacks Various other issues were also addressed.
