Descriptions
Memory safety bugs were reported in Firefox 49. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50.
Se han reportado errores de seguridad de memoria en Firefox 49. Algunos de estos errores mostraron evidencias de corrupción de memoria y se entiende que, con el suficiente esfuerzo, algunos de estos podrían explotarse para ejecutar código arbitrario. La vulnerabilidad afecta a Firefox en versiones anteriores a la 50.
Christian Holler, Andrew McCreight, Dan Minor, Tyson Smith, Jon Coppeard, Jan-Ivar Bruaroey, Jesse Ruderman, Markus Stange, Olli Pettay, Ehsan Akhgari, Gary Kwong, Tooru Fujisawa, and Randell Jesup 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. A same-origin policy bypass was discovered with local HTML files in some circumstances. An attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information. Various other issues were also addressed.
