Descriptions
Memory safety bugs were reported in Firefox 57. 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 < 58.
Se han informado de errores de seguridad de memoria en Firefox 57. Algunos de estos errores mostraron evidencias de corrupción de memoria y se cree que, con el esfuerzo necesario, se podrían explotar para ejecutar código arbitrario. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a las versiones anteriores a la 58 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 via application crash, spoof the origin in audio capture prompts, trick the user in to providing HTTP credentials for another origin, spoof the addressbar contents, or execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
