Descriptions

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 35.0 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 de Mozilla Firefox anterior a 35.0 y SeaMonkey anterior a 2.32 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caida de la aplicación) o la posibilidad de ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores no conocidos

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.
