Descriptions
The Web IDL implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 28.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.4, Thunderbird before 24.4, and SeaMonkey before 2.25 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges by using an IDL fragment to trigger a window.open call.
La implementación Web IDL en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 28.0, Firefox ESR 24.x anterior a 24.4, Thunderbird anterior a 24.4 y SeaMonkey anterior a 2.25 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código JavaScript arbitrario con privilegios de chrome mediante el uso de un fragmento IDL para provocar una llamada window.open.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Mozilla Firefox. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of WebIDL. The issue lies in the ability to bypass a security check. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
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.
