Firefox < 25.0 Multiple Vulnerabilities (Mac OS X)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 70711

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mac OS X host contains a web browser that is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The installed version of Firefox is earlier than 25.0 and is, therefore, potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- The implementation of Network Security Services (NSS) does not ensure that data structures are initialized, which could result in a denial of service or disclosure of sensitive information. (2013-1739)

- Memory issues exist in the browser engine that could result in a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-5590, CVE-2013-5591, CVE-2013-5592)

- Arbitrary HTML content can be put into 'select' elements. This can be used to spoof the displayed address bar, leading to clickjacking and other spoofing attacks. (CVE-2013-5593)

- Memory issues exist in the JavaScript engine that could result in a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-5595, CVE-2013-5602)

- A race condition exists during image collection on large web pages that could result in a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-5596)

- Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities exist that could result in a denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-5597, CVE-2013-5599, CVE-2013-5600, CVE-2013-5601, CVE-2013-5603)

- Improper handling of the 'IFRAME' element in PDF.js could result in reading arbitrary files and arbitrary JavaScript code execution. (CVE-2013-5598)

- A stack-based buffer overflow in txXPathNodeUtils::getBaseURI is possible due to uninitialized data during XSLT processing.
(CVE-2013-5604)

Solution

Upgrade to Firefox 25.0 or later.
