Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 41.0, when reader mode is enabled, allows remote attackers to spoof the relationship between address-bar URLs and web content via a crafted web site.

Vulnerabilidad en Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a 41.0, cuando el modo lector está habilitado, permite a atacantes remotos suplantar la relación entre URLs de la barra de direcciones y el contenido web 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.
