Descriptions
Mozilla Firefox before 27.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.3, Thunderbird before 24.3, and SeaMonkey before 2.24 allow remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions on window objects by leveraging inconsistency in native getter methods across different JavaScript engines.
Mozilla Firefox anterior a 27.0, Firefox ESR 24.x anterior a 24.3, Thunderbird anterior a 24.3 y SeaMonkey anterior a 2.24 permiten a atacantes remotos evadir restricciones en objetos de ventana mediante el aprovechamiento de la inconsistencia en los métodos getter nativos entre diferentes motores JavaScript.
Christian Holler, Terrence Cole, Jesse Ruderman, Gary Kwong, Eric Rescorla, Jonathan Kew, Dan Gohman, Ryan VanderMeulen and Sotaro Ikeda discovered multiple memory safety issues in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted message with scripting enabled, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. Cody Crews discovered a method to bypass System Only Wrappers. If a user had enabled scripting, an attacker could potentially exploit this to steal confidential data or execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. Various other issues were also addressed.
