Descriptions

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 28.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.25 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

Múltiples vulnerabilidades no especificadas en el motor de navegación en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 28.0 y SeaMonkey anterior a 2.25 permiten a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores desconocidos.

Benoit Jacob, Olli Pettay, Jan Varga, Jan de Mooij, Jesse Ruderman, Dan Gohman, Christoph Diehl, Gregor Wagner, Gary Kwong, Luke Wagner, Rob Fletcher and Makoto Kato discovered multiple memory safety issues in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, 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 Firefox. Atte Kettunen discovered an out-of-bounds read during WAV file decoding. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash. Various other issues were also addressed.
