Descriptions
A use-after-free vulnerability can occur while parsing an HTML5 stream in concert with custom HTML elements. This results in the stream parser object being freed while still in use, leading to a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60.5, Firefox ESR < 60.5, and Firefox < 65.
Una vulnerabilidad de memoria previamente liberada puede ocurrir a la hora de analizar una transmisión HTML5 junto con elementos HTML personalizados. Esto resulta en la liberación del objeto de análisis de transmisión mientras está en uso, conduciendo potencialmente a un cierre inesperado explotable. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a las versiones anteriores a la 60.5 de Thunderbird, las versiones anteriores a la 60.5 de Firefox ESR y las versiones anteriores a la 65 de Firefox.
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 cause a denial of service, gain additional privileges by escaping the sandbox, or execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that Firefox allowed PAC files to specify that requests to localhost are sent through the proxy to another server. If proxy auto-detection is enabled, an attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct attacks on local services and tools. Various other issues were also addressed.
