CVE-2015-7183

Desbordamiento de entero en la implementación de PL_ARENA_ALLOCATE en Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) en Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) en versiones anteriores a 3.19.2.1 y 3.20.x en versiones anteriores a 3.20.1, como se utiliza en Firefox en versiones anteriores a 42.0 y Firefox ESR 38.x en versiones anteriores a 38.4 y otros productos, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de la aplicación) a través de vectores no especificados.

A heap-based buffer overflow was found in NSPR. An attacker could use this flaw to cause NSPR to crash or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running an application compiled against the NSPR library.

Christian Holler, David Major, Jesse Ruderman, Tyson Smith, Boris Zbarsky, Randell Jesup, Olli Pettay, Karl Tomlinson, Jeff Walden, and Gary Kwong discovered multiple memory safety issues in Thunderbird. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted message, 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 Thunderbird. Tyson Smith and David Keeler discovered a use-after-poison and buffer overflow in NSS. 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 Thunderbird. Various other issues were also addressed.
