- CVE-2015-0827: 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-2015-0835: Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 36.0 allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors (bnc#917597).

- CVE-2015-0831: 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-2015-0822: The Form Autocompletion feature in Mozilla Firefox before 31.5 allowed remote attackers to read arbitrary files via crafted JavaScript code (bnc#917597).
