Descriptions

Use-after-free vulnerability in the CSPService::ShouldLoad function in the microtask implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 39.0, Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.1, and Thunderbird before 38.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging client-side JavaScript that triggers removal of a DOM object on the basis of a Content Policy.

Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación en la función CSPService::ShouldLoad en la implementación microtask en Mozilla Firefox anterior a 39.0, Firefox ESR 38.x anterior a 38.1, y Thunderbird anterior a 38.1 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario mediante el aprovechamiento de JavaScript del lado del cliente que provoca la eliminación de un objeto DOM sobre la base de una política de contenidos.

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.
