Descriptions

An audio capture session can started under an incorrect origin from the site making the capture request. Users are still prompted to allow the request but the prompt can display the wrong origin, leading to user confusion about which site is making the request to capture an audio stream. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.

Se puede iniciar una sesión de captura de audio bajo un origen incorrecto desde el sitio enviando una petición de captura. Se les pedirán a los usuarios que permitan la petición pero el mensaje puede mostrar un origen erróneo, confundiendo al usuario sobre qué sitio está realizando la petición para capturar una transmisión de audio. 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.
