Descriptions

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 34.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.31 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 de navegación en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 34.0 y SeaMonkey anterior a 2.31 permiten a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de la aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores desconocidos.

Gary Kwong, Randell Jesup, Nils Ohlmeier, Jesse Ruderman, Max Jonas Werner, Christian Holler, Jon Coppeard, Eric Rahm, Byron Campen, Eric Rescorla, and Xidorn Quan 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. Cody Crews discovered a way to trigger chrome-level XBL bindings from web content in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass security restrictions. Various other issues were also addressed.
