Synopsis
The remote Mac OS X host contains a web browser that is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The installed version of Firefox ESR 17.x is earlier than 17.0.9 and is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :- Memory issues exist in the browser engine that could result in a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-1718, CVE-2013-1719)
- Multiple use-after-free problems exist that can result in denial of service attacks or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-1735, CVE-2013-1736)
- A buffer overflow is possible because of an issue with multi-column layouts. (CVE-2013-1732)
- A JavaScript compartment mismatch can result in a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. Versions of Firefox 20 or greater are not susceptible to the arbitrary code execution mentioned above.
(CVE-2013-1730)
- Incorrect scope handling for JavaScript objects with compartments can result in denial of service or possibly arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-1725)
- An object is not properly identified during use of user-defined getter methods on DOM proxies. This can result in access restrictions being bypassed.
(CVE-2013-1737)
