Descriptions
An integer overflow during the parsing of XML using the Expat library. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50.
Desbordamiento de enteros durante el análisis de XML mediante la biblioteca Expat. 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.
