Descriptions

Buffer overflow in the Speex resampler in the Web Audio subsystem in Mozilla Firefox before 30.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to a crafted AudioBuffer channel count and sample rate.

Desbordamiento de buffer en Speex Resampler en el subsystema Web Audio en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 30.0 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores relacionados con una tasa manipulada de cuenta y muestreo de canales AudioBuffer.

Gary Kwong, Christoph Diehl, Christian Holler, Hannes Verschore, Jan de Mooij, Ryan VanderMeulen, Jeff Walden, Kyle Huey, Jesse Ruderman, Gregor Wagner, Benoit Jacob and Karl Tomlinson 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. Various other issues were also addressed.
