(CVE-2015-0836)

- Heap-based buffer overflow in the mozilla::gfx::CopyRect function in Mozilla Firefox before 31.5 allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from uninitialized process memory via a malformed SVG graphic. (bnc#917597). (CVE-2015-0827)

- Use-after-free vulnerability in the mozilla::dom::IndexedDB::IDBObjectStore::CreateIndex function in Mozilla Firefox before 31.5 allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via crafted content that is improperly handled during IndexedDB index creation. (bnc#917597). (CVE-2015-0831)

- The Form Autocompletion feature in Mozilla Firefox before 31.5 allowed remote attackers to read arbitrary files via crafted JavaScript code. (bnc#917597).
