Descriptions

The WebChannel.jsm module in Mozilla Firefox before 38.0 allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and obtain sensitive webchannel-response data via a crafted web site containing an IFRAME element referencing a different web site that is intended to read this data.

El módulo WebChannel.jsm en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 38.0 permite a atacantes remotos evadir Same Origin Policy y obtener datos sensibles de respuestas de canales de web a través de un sitio web manipulado que contiene un elemento IFRAME que hace referencia a un sitio web diferente específicamente para leer estos datos.

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.
