CVE-2016-5262

Mozilla Firefox en versiones anteriores a 48.0 y Firefox ESR 45.x en versiones anteriores a 45.3 procesa atributos de controladores de eventos JavaScript de un elemento MARQUEE dentro de un elemento IFRAME aislado que carece de valor de atributo sandbox="allow-scripts", lo que facilita a atacantes remotos llevar a cabo ataques XSS a través de un sitio web manipulado.

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.
