Descriptions
Race condition in the nsThreadManager::RegisterCurrentThread function in Mozilla Firefox before 38.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and heap memory corruption) by leveraging improper Media Decoder Thread creation at the time of a shutdown.
Condición de carrera en la función nsThreadManager::RegisterCurrentThread en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 38.0 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (uso después de liberación y corrupción de memoria dinámica) mediante el aprovechamiento de la creación de Media Decoder Thread incorrecta en el momento de un apagado.
Jesse Ruderman, Mats Palmgren, Byron Campen, Steve Fink, Gary Kwong, Andrew McCreight, Christian Holler, Jon Coppeard, and Milan Sreckovic 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. Atte Kettunen discovered a buffer overflow during the rendering of SVG content with certain CSS properties in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox.
