Descriptions

A segmentation fault can occur in the Skia graphics library during some canvas operations due to issues with mask/clip intersection and empty masks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 52 and Thunderbird < 52.

Puede ocurrir un fallo de segmentación en la biblioteca de gráficos Skia durante algunas operaciones canvas debido a problemas con la intersección de máscaras/clips y las máscaras vacías.

USN-3216-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. The update resulted in a startup crash when Firefox is used with XRDP. This update fixes the problem. Multiple security issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to bypass same origin restrictions, obtain sensitive information, spoof the addressbar, spoof the print dialog, cause a denial of service via application crash or hang, or execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
