Descriptions
Use-after-free vulnerability in the WebRTC socket thread in Mozilla Firefox before 48.0 and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging incorrect free operations on DTLS objects during the shutdown of a WebRTC session.
Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación de memoria en el hilo de toma WebRTC en Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a 48.0 y Firefox ESR 45.x en versiones anteriores a 45.3 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario aprovechando operaciones incorrectas gratuitas en objetos DTLS durante la desconexión de una sesión WebRTC.
Gustavo Grieco discovered an out-of-bounds read during XML parsing in some circumstances. 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 obtain sensitive information. Toni Huttunen discovered that once a favicon is requested from a site, the remote server can keep the network connection open even after the page is closed. A remote attacker could potentially exploit this to track users, resulting in information disclosure. Various other issues were also addressed.
