Descriptions

js/src/proxy/Proxy.cpp in Mozilla Firefox before 41.0 mishandles certain receiver arguments, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended window access restrictions via a crafted web site.

Vulnerabilidad en js/src/proxy/Proxy.cpp en Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a 41.0, no maneja correctamente ciertos argumentos del receptor, lo que permite a atacantes remotos eludir las restricciones destinadas al acceso por ventana a través de un sitio web manipulado.

USN-2743-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. After upgrading, some users reported problems with bookmark creation and crashes in some circumstances. This update fixes the problem. Andrew Osmond, Olli Pettay, Andrew Sutherland, Christian Holler, David Major, Andrew McCreight, Cameron McCormack, Bob Clary and Randell Jesup 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. Various other issues were also addressed.
