Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a web browser that is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The installed version of Firefox ESR 24.x is a version prior to 24.4.
It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Memory issues exist that could lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-1493, CVE-2014-1494)

- A flaw exists in the checkHandshake() function due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to corrupt memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-1495)

- An issue exists where extracted files for updates are not read-only while updating. An attacker may be able to modify these extracted files resulting in privilege escalation. (CVE-2014-1496)

- An out-of-bounds read error exists when decoding WAV format audio files that could lead to a denial of service attack or information disclosure.
(CVE-2014-1497)

- An out-of-bounds read error exists when polygons are rendered in 'MathML' that could lead to information disclosure. (CVE-2014-1508)

- A memory corruption issue exists in the Cairo graphics library when rendering a PDF file that could lead to arbitrary code execution or a denial of service attack.
(CVE-2014-1509)

- An issue exists in the SVG filters and the feDisplacementMap element that could lead to information disclosure via timing attacks.
(CVE-2014-1505)

- An issue exists that could allow malicious websites to load chrome-privileged pages when JavaScript implemented WebIDL calls the 'window.open()' function, which could result in arbitrary code execution.
(CVE-2014-1510)

- An issue exists that could allow a malicious website to bypass the pop-up blocker. (CVE-2014-1511)

- A use-after-free memory issue exists in 'TypeObjects' in the JavaScript engine during Garbage Collection that could lead to arbitrary code execution.
(CVE-2014-1512)

- An out-of-bounds write error exists due to 'TypedArrayObject' improperly handling 'ArrayBuffer' objects that could result in arbitrary code execution.
(CVE-2014-1513)

- An out-of-bounds write error exists when copying values from one array to another that could result in arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-1514)

Solution

Upgrade to Firefox ESR 24.4 or later.
