Descriptions

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 35.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.4, Thunderbird before 31.4, and SeaMonkey before 2.32 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 del navegador en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 35.0, Firefox ESR 31.x anterior a 31.4, Thunderbird anterior a 31.4, y SeaMonkey anterior a 2.32 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.

Christian Holler, Patrick McManus, Christoph Diehl, Gary Kwong, Jesse Ruderman, Byron Campen, Terrence Cole, and Nils Ohlmeier 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. Bobby Holley discovered that some DOM objects with certain properties can bypass XrayWrappers 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.
