Descriptions

The mozilla::dom::OscillatorNodeEngine::ComputeCustom function in the Web Audio subsystem in Mozilla Firefox before 29.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.26 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read, memory corruption, and application crash) via crafted content.

La función mozilla::dom::OscillatorNodeEngine::ComputeCustom en el subsistema Web Audio en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 29.0 y SeaMonkey anterior a 2.26 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de rango y caída de aplicación) a través de contenido manipulado.

Bobby Holley, Carsten Book, Christoph Diehl, Gary Kwong, Jan de Mooij, Jesse Ruderman, Nathan Froyd, John Schoenick, Karl Tomlinson, Vladimir Vukicevic and Christian Holler 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. An out of bounds read was discovered in Web Audio. An attacker could potentially exploit this cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. Various other issues were also addressed.
