Descriptions

Race condition in the WorkerPrivate::NotifyFeatures function in Mozilla Firefox before 41.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and application crash) by leveraging improper interaction between shared workers and the IndexedDB implementation.

Vulnerabilidad de condición de carrera en la función WorkerPrivate::NotifyFeatures en Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a 41.0, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o provocar una denegación de servicio (uso despúes de liberación y caída de aplicación) mediante aprovechamiento de interacción indebida entre workers compartidos y la implementación de IndexedDB.

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.
