Descriptions

The IndexedDatabaseManager class in the IndexedDB implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 39.0 and Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.8 and 38.x before 38.1 misinterprets an unspecified IDBDatabase field as a pointer, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via unspecified vectors, related to a "type confusion" issue.

La clase IndexedDatabaseManager en la implementación IndexedDB en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 39.0 y Firefox ESR 31.x anterior a 31.8 y 38.x anterior a 38.1 malinterpreta un campo IDBDatabase no especificado como puntero, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de aplicación) a través de vectores no especificados, relacionado con un problema de 'confusión de tipos'.

USN-2656-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and later releases. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Karthikeyan Bhargavan discovered that NSS incorrectly handled state transitions for the TLS state machine. If a remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to skip the ServerKeyExchange message and remove the forward-secrecy property. Looben Yan discovered 2 use-after-free issues when using XMLHttpRequest in some circumstances. 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. Various other issues were also addressed.
