The mozilla::dom::TextTrack::AddCue function in Mozilla Firefox before 29.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.26 does not properly perform garbage collection for Text Track Manager variables, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and heap memory corruption) via a crafted VIDEO element in an HTML document.

Versions of Mozilla Firefox ESR prior to 24.5 are unpatched against the following vulnerabilities :

 - Use-after-free vulnerabilities in nsHostResolver, imgLoader, and Text Track Manager (for HTML video), which can crash with a potentially exploitable condition (CVE-2014-1532, CVE-2014-1531, CVE-2014-1525)
 - A potentially exploitable out-of-bounds write in Cairo, a potentially exploitable out-of-bounds read issue with Web Audio, and a non-exploitable out-of-bounds read when decoding JPG images (CVE-2014-1528, CVE-2014-1522, CVE-2014-1523)
 - Improper wildcard matching of domains in the Network Security Services (NSS library), which has since been fixed by updating to version 3.16 (CVE-2014-1492)
 - Potential privilege escalation via Xray Wrappers bypass, which can occur if a user used the debugger to interact with a malicious page (CVE-2014-1526)
 - Privilege escalation for scripts when sites that have been granted notification permissions by a user can bypass security checks on source components for the Web Notification API (CVE-2014-1529)
 - Privilege escalation via the Mozilla Maintenance Service Installer, which writes to a globally writeable temporary directory during the update process (Windows only) (CVE-2014-1520)
 - A potentially exploitable buffer overflow when a script uses a non-XBL object as an XBL object (CVE-2014-1524)
 - A cross-site scripting vulnerability using browser navigations through history to load a website with the page's base URI pointing to a different site (CVE-2014-1530)
 - Various memory safety hazards (CVE-2014-1518, CVE-2014-1519)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201504-01 (Mozilla Products: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Firefox, Thunderbird,       and SeaMonkey. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for       details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web       page or email, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a       Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able       to perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks, obtain sensitive information, spoof       the address bar, conduct clickjacking attacks, bypass security       restrictions and protection mechanisms,  or have other unspecified       impact.
  Workaround :

    There are no known workarounds at this time.

This is also a mozilla-nss update to version 3.16 :

  - required for Firefox 29

  - bmo#903885 - (CVE-2014-1492) In a wildcard certificate,     the wildcard character should not be embedded within the     U-label of an internationalized domain name. See the     last bullet point in RFC 6125, Section 7.2.

  - Supports the Linux x32 ABI. To build for the Linux x32     target, set the environment variable USE_X32=1 when     building NSS. New Functions :

  - NSS_CMSSignerInfo_Verify New Macros

  - TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA, TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA,     etc., cipher suites that were first defined in SSL 3.0     can now be referred to with their official IANA names in     TLS, with the TLS_ prefix. Previously, they had to be     referred to with their names in SSL 3.0, with the SSL_     prefix. Notable Changes :

  - ECC is enabled by default. It is no longer necessary to     set the environment variable NSS_ENABLE_ECC=1 when     building NSS. To disable ECC, set the environment     variable NSS_DISABLE_ECC=1 when building NSS.

  - libpkix should not include the common name of CA as DNS     names when evaluating name constraints.

  - AESKeyWrap_Decrypt should not return SECSuccess for     invalid keys.

  - Fix a memory corruption in sec_pkcs12_new_asafe.

  - If the NSS_SDB_USE_CACHE environment variable is set,     skip the runtime test sdb_measureAccess.

  - The built-in roots module has been updated to version     1.97, which adds, removes, and distrusts several     certificates.

  - The atob utility has been improved to automatically     ignore lines of text that aren't in base64 format.

  - The certutil utility has been improved to support     creation of version 1 and version 2 certificates, in     addition to the existing version 3 support.
