Mozilla Firefox ESR < 52.7 Multiple Vulnerabilities
high Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 700335
Synopsis
The remote host has a web browser installed that is vulnerable to multiple attack vectors.Description
Versions of Mozilla Firefox ESR earlier than 52.7 are unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :- An overflow condition exists that is triggered when handling SVG animatedPathSegList attributes. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a buffer overflow, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in 'netwerk/protocol/http/HttpBaseChannel.cpp' that is triggered as local copies of resources that were sent with a no-store or no-cache header may be returned by the 'fetch()' API. This allows a local attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
- An out-of-bounds write flaw exists that is triggered when handling plane widths and stride constraints in IPC messages. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to bypass sandbox restrictions.
- A flaw exists in the 'JsepTrack::NegotiateCodecs()' function in 'media/webrtc/signaling/src/jsep/JsepTrack.cpp' that is triggered when handling RTP payload types in WebRTC connections. With specially crafted packets, a context-dependent attacker can corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- An integer overflow condition exists that is triggered as certain length parameters are not properly validated during conversion of text to unicode character sets. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to have an unspecified impact.
- A use-after-free condition exists in 'layout/base/nsDocumentViewer.cpp' that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists that is triggered when handling HTTP/2 streams. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A type confusion flaw exists in the 'EventStateManager::NotifyMouseOver()' function in 'dom/events/EventStateManager.cpp' that is triggered when handling mouseover events. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in the 'JSStructuredCloneReader::readHeader()' function in 'vm/StructuredClone.cpp' that is triggered when handling structured clone data. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in the 'jit::MakeMRegExpHoistable()' function in 'jit/IonAnalysis.cpp' that is triggered when optimization for regular expressions. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A type confusion flaw exists in the 'JSObject::setFlags()' function in 'vm/Shape.cpp' that is triggered when checking for dictionary mode. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in the 'vpx_codec_enc_init_multi_ver()' function in 'vpx_encoder.c' that is triggered when handling memory during early exits. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists that is related to document renderer handling. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- An arithmetic flaw exists in the 'nsTextFrame::GetRenderedText()' function in 'layout/generic/nsTextFrame.cpp' that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A use-after-free error exists in the EditorBase destructor in 'editor/libeditor/EditorBase.cpp' that is triggered when unlinking cycle collectors. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- An out-of-bounds write flaw exists in 'vp9/encoder/x86/vp9_quantize_ssse3_x86_64.asm' that is triggered when handling memory 'pointers.This' may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in the 'nsDocumentEncoder::SerializeToStringRecursive()' function in 'dom/base/nsDocumentEncoder.cpp' that is triggered when serializing DOM nodes. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- An out-of-bounds write flaw exists in the 'vorbis_book_decodevs_add()', 'vorbis_book_decodev_add()', and 'vorbis_book_decodevv_add()' functions in 'codebook.c' that is triggered when decoding codebooks from Vorbis audio data. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code.
