Descriptions
The mozilla::dom::AudioParamTimeline::AudioNodeInputValue function in the Web Audio API implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 35.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.32 does not properly restrict timeline operations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized-memory read and application crash) via crafted API calls.
La función mozilla::dom::AudioParamTimeline::AudioNodeInputValue en la implementación de API Web Audio en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 35.0 y SeaMonkey anterior a 2.32 no restringe correctamente las operaciones de líneas de tiempos, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (lectura de memoria no inicializada y caída de la aplicación) via crafted API calls.
USN-2458-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. This update introduced a regression which could make websites that use CSP fail to load under some circumstances. This update fixes the problem. 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. Michal Zalewski discovered a use of uninitialized memory when rendering malformed bitmap images on a canvas element. Various other issues were also addressed.
