Descriptions

Integer overflow in the mozilla::layers::BufferTextureClient::AllocateForSurface function in Mozilla Firefox before 43.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering a graphics operation that requires a large texture allocation.

Desbordamiento de entero en la función mozilla::layers::BufferTextureClient::AllocateForSurface en Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a 43.0 y Firefox ESR 38.x en versiones anteriores a 38.5 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario desencadenando una operación de gráficos que requiere una gran asignación de textura.

Andrei Vaida, Jesse Ruderman, Bob Clary, Christian Holler, Jesse Ruderman, Eric Rahm, Robert Kaiser, Harald Kirschner, and Michael Henretty 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. Ronald Crane discovered three buffer overflows through code inspection. 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.
