Descriptions
A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when arguments passed to the "IsPotentiallyScrollable" function are freed while still in use by scripts. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.
Puede ocurrir una vulnerabilidad de uso de memoria previamente liberada cuando los argumentos pasados a la función "IsPotentiallyScrollable" se liberan cuando todavía hay scripts que los están utilizando. Esto resulta en un cierre inesperado explotable. 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.
