Versions of Mozilla Firefox earlier than 47.0 are unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

 - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2815, CVE-2016-2818)
 - An overflow condition exists that is triggered when handling HTML5 fragments in foreign contexts (e.g., under <svg> nodes).  An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2819)
 - A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when deleting DOM table elements in 'contenteditable' mode.  An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2821)
 - A spoofing vulnerability exists due to improper handling of SELECT elements.  An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to spoof the contents of the address bar. (CVE-2016-2822)
 - A same-origin bypass vulnerability exists that is triggered when handling 'location.host' property values set after the creation of invalid 'data:' URIs.  An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to partially bypass same-origin policy protections. (CVE-2016-2825)
 - A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when destroying the recycle pool of a texture used during the processing of WebGL content.  An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2828)
 - A flaw exists in 'browser/modules/webrtcUI.jsm' that is triggered when handling a large number of permission requests over a small period of time.  An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause the incorrect icon to be displayed in a given permission request, potentially resulting in a user approving unintended permission requests. (CVE-2016-2829)
 - A flaw exists that is triggered when handling paired fullscreen and pointerlock requests in combination with closing windows.  An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to create an unauthorized pointerlock, resulting in a denial of service condition.  Additionally, an attacker can exploit this to conduct spoofing and clickjacking attacks. (CVE-2016-2831)
 - An information disclosure vulnerability exists that is triggered when handling CSS pseudo-classes.  An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this disclose a list of installed plugins. (CVE-2016-2832)
 - A Content Security Policy (CSP) bypass exists that is triggered when handling specially crafted cross-domain Java applets.  An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to bypass the CSP and conduct cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2016-2833)
 - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) component that allow an attacker to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-2834)

Versions of Mozilla Firefox earlier than 45.2 are unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

 - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2815, CVE-2016-2818)
 - An overflow condition exists that is triggered when handling HTML5 fragments in foreign contexts (e.g., under <svg> nodes).  An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2819)
 - A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when deleting DOM table elements in 'contenteditable' mode.  An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2821)
 - A spoofing vulnerability exists due to improper handling of SELECT elements.  An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to spoof the contents of the address bar. (CVE-2016-2822)
 - An out-of-bounds write flaw in 'TSymbolTableLevel' is triggered when size values for array writes are not properly checked during WebGL shader operations. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2824)
 - A flaw exists in the Windows updater utility's 'toolkit/mozapps/update/updater/updater.cpp' extraction of files from MAR archives.  These files are not properly locked for writing, which may allow a local attacker to replace these files and potentially leverage them to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-2826)
 - A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when destroying the recycle pool of a texture used during the processing of WebGL content.  An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2828)
 - A flaw exists that is triggered when handling paired fullscreen and pointerlock requests in combination with closing windows.  An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to create an unauthorized pointerlock, resulting in a denial of service condition.  Additionally, an attacker can exploit this to conduct spoofing and clickjacking attacks. (CVE-2016-2831)

Multiple security issues have been found in the Mozilla Firefox web browser: Multiple memory safety errors, buffer overflows and other implementation errors may lead to the execution of arbitrary code or spoofing.

Wait, Firefox? No more references to Iceweasel? That's right, Debian no longer applies a custom branding. Please see these links for further information: https://glandium.org/blog/?p=3622 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_software_rebranded_by_Debian

Debian follows the extended support releases (ESR) of Firefox. Support for the 38.x series has ended, so starting with this update we're now following the 45.x releases and this update to the next ESR is also the point where we reapply the original branding.

Transition packages for the iceweasel packages are provided which automatically upgrade to the new version. Since new binary packages need to be installed, make sure to allow that in your upgrade procedure (e.g. by using 'apt-get dist-upgrade' instead of 'apt-get upgrade').

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 45.2.0esr-1~deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your firefox-esr packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

This update upgrades Firefox to version 45.2.0 ESR.

Security Fix(es) :

  - Multiple flaws were found in the processing of malformed     web content.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2993-1 advisory.

    Christian Holler, Gary Kwong, Jesse Ruderman, Tyson Smith, Timothy Nikkel, Sylvestre Ledru, Julian Seward,     Olli Pettay, Karl Tomlinson, Christoph Diehl, Julian Hector, Jan de Mooij, Mats Palmgren, and Tooru     Fujisawa discovered multiple memory safety issues 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, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2815, CVE-2016-2818)

    A buffer overflow was discovered when parsing HTML5 fragments in some circumstances. If a user were     tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a     denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2819)

    A use-after-free was discovered in contenteditable mode in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in     to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of     service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2821)

    Jordi Chancel discovered a way to use a persistent menu within a <select> element and place this in an     arbitrary location. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could     potentially exploit this to spoof the addressbar contents. (CVE-2016-2822)

    Armin Razmdjou that the location.host property can be set to an arbitrary string after creating an invalid     data: URI. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially     exploit this to bypass some same-origin protections. (CVE-2016-2825)

    A use-after-free was discovered when processing WebGL content in some circumstances. If a user were     tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a     denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2828)

    Tim McCormack discovered that the permissions notification can show the wrong icon when a page requests     several permissions in quick succession. An attacker could potentially exploit this by tricking the user     in to giving consent for access to the wrong resource. (CVE-2016-2829)

    It was discovered that a pointerlock can be created in a fullscreen window without user consent in some     circumstances, and this pointerlock cannot be cancelled without quitting Firefox. If a user were tricked     in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of     service or conduct clickjacking attacks. (CVE-2016-2831)

    John Schoenick discovered that CSS pseudo-classes can leak information about plugins that are installed     but disabled. An attacker could potentially exploit this to fingerprint users. (CVE-2016-2832)

    Matt Wobensmith discovered that Content Security Policy (CSP) does not block the loading of cross-domain     Java applets when specified by policy. An attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass CSP     protections and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2016-2833)

    In addition, multiple unspecified security issues were discovered in NSS. (CVE-2016-2834)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Multiple security issues have been found in the Mozilla Firefox web browser: Multiple memory safety errors, buffer overflows and other implementation errors may lead to the execution of arbitrary code or spoofing.

Transition packages for the iceweasel packages are provided which automatically upgrade to the new version. Since new binary packages need to be installed, make sure to allow that in your upgrade procedure (e.g. by using 'apt-get dist-upgrade' instead of 'apt-get upgrade').

The version of Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 47. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2016-2815, CVE-2016-2818)

  - An overflow condition exists that is triggered when     handling HTML5 fragments in foreign contexts (e.g.,     under <svg> nodes). An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to cause a heap-based buffer overflow,     resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2016-2819)

  - A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when     deleting DOM table elements in 'contenteditable' mode.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     dereference already freed memory, resulting in the     execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2821)

  - A spoofing vulnerability exists due to improper handling     of SELECT elements. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to spoof the contents of the address     bar. (CVE-2016-2822)

  - An out-of-bounds write error exists in the ANGLE     graphics library due to improper size checking while     writing to an array during WebGL shader operations. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2824)

  - A same-origin bypass vulnerability exists that is     triggered when handling location.host property values     set after the creation of invalid 'data:' URIs. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     partially bypass same-origin policy protections.
    (CVE-2016-2825)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the     Windows updater utility due to improper extraction of     files from MAR archives. A local attacker can exploit     this to replace the extracted files, allowing the     attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-2826)

  - A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when     destroying the recycle pool of a texture used during the     processing of WebGL content. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed     memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2016-2828)

  - A flaw exists in browser/modules/webrtcUI.jsm that is     triggered when handling a large number of permission     requests over a small period of time. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause the incorrect icon to be displayed in a given     permission request, potentially resulting in a user     approving unintended permission requests.
    (CVE-2016-2829)

  - A flaw exists that is triggered when handling paired     fullscreen and pointerlock requests in combination with     closing windows. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to create an unauthorized pointerlock,     resulting in a denial of service condition.
    Additionally, an attacker can exploit this to conduct     spoofing and clickjacking attacks. (CVE-2016-2831)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists that is     triggered when handling CSS pseudo-classes. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this     disclose a list of installed plugins. (CVE-2016-2832)

  - A Content Security Policy (CSP) bypass exists that is     triggered when handling specially crafted cross-domain     Java applets. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to bypass the CSP and conduct cross-site     scripting attacks. (CVE-2016-2833)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the Mozilla Network     Security Services (NSS) component that allow an attacker     to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2016-2834)

The version of Firefox ESR installed on the remote Windows host is 45.x prior to 45.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2016-2818)

  - An overflow condition exists that is triggered when     handling HTML5 fragments in foreign contexts (e.g.,     under <svg> nodes). An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to cause a heap-based buffer overflow,     resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2016-2819)

  - A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when     deleting DOM table elements in 'contenteditable' mode.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     dereference already freed memory, resulting in the     execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2821)

  - A spoofing vulnerability exists due to improper handling     of SELECT elements. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to spoof the contents of the address     bar. (CVE-2016-2822)

  - An out-of-bounds write error exists in the ANGLE     graphics library due to improper size checking while     writing to an array during WebGL shader operations. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2824)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the     Windows updater utility due to improper extraction of     files from MAR archives. A local attacker can exploit     this to replace the extracted files, allowing the     attacker to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2016-2826)

  - A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when     destroying the recycle pool of a texture used during the     processing of WebGL content. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed     memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2016-2828)

  - A flaw exists that is triggered when handling paired     fullscreen and pointerlock requests in combination with     closing windows. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to create an unauthorized pointerlock,     resulting in a denial of service condition.
    Additionally, an attacker can exploit this to conduct     spoofing and clickjacking attacks. (CVE-2016-2831)

The version of Firefox installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 47. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2016-2815, CVE-2016-2818)

  - An overflow condition exists that is triggered when     handling HTML5 fragments in foreign contexts (e.g.,     under <svg> nodes). An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to cause a heap-based buffer overflow,     resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2016-2819)

  - A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when     deleting DOM table elements in 'contenteditable' mode.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     dereference already freed memory, resulting in the     execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2821)

  - A spoofing vulnerability exists due to improper handling     of SELECT elements. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this to spoof the contents of the address     bar. (CVE-2016-2822)

  - A same-origin bypass vulnerability exists that is     triggered when handling location.host property values     set after the creation of invalid 'data:' URIs. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     partially bypass same-origin policy protections.
    (CVE-2016-2825)

  - A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when     destroying the recycle pool of a texture used during the     processing of WebGL content. An unauthenticated, remote     attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed     memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2016-2828)

  - A flaw exists in browser/modules/webrtcUI.jsm that is     triggered when handling a large number of permission     requests over a small period of time. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     cause the incorrect icon to be displayed in a given     permission request, potentially resulting in a user     approving unintended permission requests.
    (CVE-2016-2829)

  - A flaw exists that is triggered when handling paired     fullscreen and pointerlock requests in combination with     closing windows. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to create an unauthorized pointerlock,     resulting in a denial of service condition.
    Additionally, an attacker can exploit this to conduct     spoofing and clickjacking attacks. (CVE-2016-2831)
