Descriptions

The mozilla::dom::AudioEventTimeline function in the Web Audio API implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 32.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.1, and Thunderbird 31.x before 31.1 does not properly create audio timelines, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via crafted API calls.

La función mozilla::dom::AudioEventTimeline en la implementación Web Audio API en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 32.0, Firefox ESR 31.x anterior a 31.1 y Thunderbird 31.x anterior a 31.1 no crea debidamente las líneas de tiempo de audio, lo que permite a atacantes remotos obtener información sensible de la memoria de procesos o causar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de rango) a través de llamadas manipuladas a la API.

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.
