Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 34.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.31 provide stylesheets with an incorrect primary namespace, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via an XBL binding.

Mozilla Firefox anterior a 34.0 y SeaMonkey anterior a 2.31 proporcionan hojas de estilo con un espacio de nombre primario incorrecto, lo que permite a atacantes remotos evadir las restricciones de acceso a través de una vinculación XBL.

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.
