An integer overflow in "createImageBitmap()" was reported through the Pwn2Own contest. The fix for this vulnerability disables the experimental extensions to the "createImageBitmap" API. This function runs in the content sandbox, requiring a second vulnerability to compromise a user's computer. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 52.0.1 and Firefox < 52.0.1.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has firefox packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A buffer overflow in WebGL triggerable by web content,     resulting in a potentially exploitable crash. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.1, Firefox ESR <     45.9, Firefox ESR < 52.1, and Firefox < 53.
    (CVE-2017-5459)

  - An out-of-bounds read during the processing of glyph     widths during text layout.

    (CVE-2017-5469)

  - An out-of-bounds read while processing SVG content in     ConvolvePixel. This results in a crash and also allows     for otherwise inaccessible memory being copied into SVG     graphic content, which could then displayed. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.1, Firefox ESR <     45.9, Firefox ESR < 52.1, and Firefox < 53.
    (CVE-2017-5465)

    These issues were addressed in Graphite 2 version     1.3.10. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 54, Firefox     ESR < 52.2, and Thunderbird < 52.2. (CVE-2017-7778)

  - An out of bounds read vulnerability was found in     libevent in the search_make_new function. If an attacker     could cause an application using libevent to attempt     resolving an empty hostname, an out of bounds read could     occur possibly leading to a crash. (CVE-2016-10197)

  - A vulnerability was found in libevent with the parsing     of DNS requests and replies. An attacker could send a     forged DNS response to an application using libevent     which could lead to reading data out of bounds on the     heap, potentially disclosing a small amount of     application memory. (CVE-2016-10195)

  - A vulnerability was found in libevent with the parsing     of IPv6 addresses. If an attacker could cause an     application using libevent to parse a malformed address     in IPv6 notation of more than 2GiB in length, a stack     overflow would occur leading to a crash.
    (CVE-2016-10196)

This vulnerability     affects Firefox < 54, Firefox ESR < 52.2, and     Thunderbird < 52.2. (CVE-2017-7752)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability with content viewer     listeners that results in a potentially exploitable     crash. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 54, Firefox     ESR < 52.2, and Thunderbird < 52.2. (CVE-2017-7751)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability with the frameloader     during tree reconstruction while regenerating CSS layout     when attempting to use a node in the tree that no longer     exists. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
    This vulnerability affects Firefox < 54, Firefox ESR <     52.2, and Thunderbird < 52.2. (CVE-2017-5472)

  - An out-of-bounds read in WebGL with a maliciously     crafted ImageInfo object during WebGL operations. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 54, Firefox ESR < 52.2,     and Thunderbird < 52.2. (CVE-2017-7754)

  - Memory safety bugs were reported in Firefox 53 and     Firefox ESR 52.1. Some of these bugs showed evidence of     memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort     that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary     code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 54, Firefox     ESR < 52.2, and Thunderbird < 52.2. (CVE-2017-5470)

  - An out of bounds read flaw related to     graphite2::Silf::readGraphite has been reported in     graphite2. An attacker could possibly exploit this flaw     to disclose potentially sensitive memory or cause an     application crash. (CVE-2017-7774)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow flaw related to     lz4::decompress (src/Decompressor) has been reported     in graphite2. An attacker could exploit this issue to     cause a crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-7773)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow flaw related to     lz4::decompress has been reported in graphite2. An     attacker could exploit this issue to cause a crash or,     possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7772)

  - An out of bounds read flaw related to     graphite2::Pass::readPass has been reported in     graphite2. An attacker could possibly exploit this flaw     to disclose potentially sensitive memory or cause an     application crash. (CVE-2017-7771)

  - The use of uninitialized memory related to     graphite2::GlyphCache::Loader::read_glyph has been     reported in graphite2. An attacker could possibly     exploit this flaw to negatively impact the execution of     an application using graphite2 in unknown ways.
    (CVE-2017-7777)

  - An out of bounds read flaw related to     graphite2::Silf::getClassGlyph has been reported in     graphite2. An attacker could possibly exploit this flaw     to disclose potentially sensitive memory or cause an     application crash. (CVE-2017-7776)

  - Characters from the Canadian Syllabics unicode block     can be mixed with characters from other unicode blocks     in the addressbar instead of being rendered as their raw     punycode form, allowing for domain name spoofing     attacks through character confusion. The current Unicode     standard allows characters from Aspirational Use     Scripts such as Canadian Syllabics to be mixed with     Latin characters in the moderately restrictive IDN     profile. We have changed Firefox behavior to match the     upcoming Unicode version 10.0 which removes this     category and treats them as Limited Use Scripts.. This     vulnerability affects Firefox < 54, Firefox ESR < 52.2,     and Thunderbird < 52.2. (CVE-2017-7764)

  - Memory safety bugs were reported in Firefox 52, Firefox     ESR 45.8, Firefox ESR 52, and Thunderbird 52. Some of     these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we     presume that with enough effort that some of these could     be exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability     affects Thunderbird < 52.1, Firefox ESR < 45.9, Firefox     ESR < 52.1, and Firefox < 53. (CVE-2017-5429)

  - A vulnerability while parsing application/http-index-     format format content where uninitialized values are     used to create an array. This could allow the reading of     uninitialized memory into the arrays affected. This     vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.1, Firefox ESR <     45.9, Firefox ESR < 52.1, and Firefox < 53.
    (CVE-2017-5445)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability during XSLT processing     due to a failure to propagate error conditions during     matching while evaluating context, leading to objects     being used when they no longer exist. This results in a     potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability     affects Thunderbird < 52.1, Firefox ESR < 45.9, Firefox     ESR < 52.1, and Firefox < 53. (CVE-2017-5440)

  - An out-of-bounds write in the Graphite 2 library     triggered with a maliciously crafted Graphite font. This     results in a potentially exploitable crash. This issue     was fixed in the Graphite 2 library as well as Mozilla     products. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 52.1,     Firefox ESR < 45.9, Firefox ESR < 52.1, and Firefox <     53. (CVE-2017-5436)

  - A flaw was found in the processing of malformed web     content. A web page containing malicious content could     cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute     arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running     Firefox. (CVE-2017-5428)

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

The version of Mozilla Firefox ESR installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 52.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by an integer overflow condition in the nsGlobalWindow::CreateImageBitmap() function within file dom/base/nsGlobalWindow.cpp due to improper validation of certain input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to corrupt memory, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.

Note that this function runs in the content sandbox, requiring a second vulnerability to compromise a user's computer.

Versions of Mozilla Firefox ESR earlier than 45.8.0 are unpatched for an integer overflow condition in the 'nsGlobalWindow::CreateImageBitmap()' function in 'dom/base/nsGlobalWindow.cpp' that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code.
