Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 31.1 on Android does not properly restrict copying of local files onto the SD card during processing of file: URLs, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information from the Firefox profile directory via a crafted application. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-1515.

Mozilla Firefox anterior a 31.1 en Android no restringe debidamente la copia de ficheros locales en la tarjeta SD durante el procesamiento de fichero: URLs, lo que permite a atacantes obtener información sensible del directorio de perfiles de Firefox a través de una aplicación manipulada. NOTA: esta vulnerabilidad existe debido a una solución incompleta para CVE-2014-1515

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey, the worst of which may allow user-assisted execution of arbitrary code. Versions less than 31.5.3 are affected.
