Descriptions

The protocol-handler dialog in Mozilla Firefox before 44.0 allows remote attackers to conduct clickjacking attacks via a crafted web site that triggers a single-click action in a situation where a double-click action was intended.

El diálogo del manejador de protocolo en Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a 44.0 permite a atacantes remotos llevar a cabo ataques de secuestro de clic a través de un sitio web manipulado que desencadena una acción de clic simple en una situación en la que se pretendía una acción de doble clic.

Bob Clary, Christian Holler, Nils Ohlmeier, Gary Kwong, Jesse Ruderman, Carsten Book, Randell Jesup, Nicolas Pierron, Eric Rescorla, Tyson Smith, and Gabor Krizsanits 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. Gustavo Grieco discovered an out-of-memory crash when loading GIF images in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
