Descriptions

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 32.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.1, and Thunderbird 31.x before 31.1 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 del navegador en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 32.0, Firefox ESR 31.x anterior a 31.1 y Thunderbird 31.x anterior a 31.1 permiten a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de la memoria y caída de aplicaciones) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores desconocidos.

Jan de Mooij, Christian Holler, Karl Tomlinson, Randell Jesup, Gary Kwong, Jesse Ruderman and JW Wang 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. Abhishek Arya discovered a use-after-free during DOM interactions with SVG. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted message with scripting enabled, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. Various other issues were also addressed.
