Descriptions
The graphite2::GlyphCache::Loader::Loader function in Graphite 2 before 1.3.6, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.7, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Graphite smart font.
La función graphite2::GlyphCache::Loader::Loader en Graphite 2 en versiones anteriores a 1.3.6, como se utiliza en Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a 45.0 y Firefox ESR 38.x en versiones anteriores a 38.7 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (sobre lectura de buffer) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de una fuente inteligente Graphite manipulada.
Francis Gabriel discovered a buffer overflow during ASN.1 decoding in NSS. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. Bob Clary, Christoph Diehl, Christian Holler, Andrew McCreight, Daniel Holbert, Jesse Ruderman, Randell Jesup, Carsten Book, Gian-Carlo Pascutto, Tyson Smith, Andrea Marchesini, and Jukka Jylanki 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. Various other issues were also addressed.
