Descriptions

Content Security Policy combined with HTTP to HTTPS redirection can be used by malicious server to verify whether a known site is within a user's browser history. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50.

Content Security Policy, junto con la redirección HTTP a HTTPS, puede ser empleado por un servidor malicioso para verificar si un sitio conocido existe en el historial de navegación de un usuario. 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.
