Descriptions
A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when the thread for a Web Worker is freed from memory prematurely instead of from memory in the main thread while cancelling fetch operations. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.
Puede ocurrir una vulnerabilidad de uso de memoria previamente liberada cuando el hilo para un Web Worker se libera de la memoria prematuramente en vez de la memoria en el hilo principal cuando se cancelan las operaciones fetch. 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.
