Descriptions
Mozilla Firefox before 42.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.4 improperly control the ability of a web worker to create a WebSocket object, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended mixed-content restrictions via crafted JavaScript code.
Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a 42.0 y Firefox ESR 38.x en versiones anteriores a 38.4 controla indebidamente la capacidad de un web worker para crear un objeto WebSocket, lo que permite a atacantes remotos eludir las restricciones destinadas al contenido mixto a través de código JavaScript manipulado.
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.
