Descriptions

The ConvolveHorizontally function in Skia, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 31.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.7, and Thunderbird before 24.7, does not properly handle the discarding of image data during function execution, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering prolonged image scaling, as demonstrated by scaling of a high-quality image.

La función ConvolveHorizontally en Skia, utilizado en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 31.0, Firefox ESR 24.x anterior a 24.7 y Thunderbird anterior a 24.7, no maneja debidamente el descarte de datos de imágenes durante la ejecución de la función, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario mediante la provocación del escalado prolongado de imágenes, tal y como fue demostrado mediante el escalado de un imagen de alta calidad.

Christian Holler, David Keeler and Byron Campen 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. Atte Kettunen discovered a buffer overflow when interacting with WebAudio buffers. If a user had enabled scripting, 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.
