Descriptions
An out of bounds memory write while processing Vorbis audio data was reported through the Pwn2Own contest. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 59.0.1, Firefox ESR < 52.7.2, and Thunderbird < 52.7.
Una escritura de memoria fuera de límites mientras se procesaban los datos de audio de Vorbis fue reportada a través de la competición Pwn2Own. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a las versiones anteriores a la 59.0.1 de Firefox, las versiones anteriores a la 52.7.2 de Firefox ESR y las versiones anteriores a la 52.7 de Thunderbird.
An out of bounds write flaw was found in the processing of vorbis audio data. A maliciously crafted file or audio stream could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Mozilla Firefox. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the libvorbis library. A crafted Vorbis audio file can trigger a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
