Descriptions

The gdk-pixbuf configuration in Mozilla Firefox before 43.0 on Linux GNOME platforms incorrectly enables the TGA decoder, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) via a crafted Truevision TGA image.

La configuración gdk-pixbuf en Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a 43.0 en plataformas Linux GNOME habilita incorrectamente el decodificador TGA, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica) a través de una imagen Truevision TGA manipulada.

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.
