Description

firefox vulnerabilities Andrei Vaida, Jesse Ruderman, Bob Clary, Christian Holler, Jesse Ruderman, Eric Rahm, Robert Kaiser, Harald Kirschner, and Michael Henretty discovered multiple memory safety issues in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2015-7201, CVE-2015-7202) Ronald Crane discovered three buffer overflows through code inspection. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2015-7203, CVE-2015-7220, CVE-2015-7221) Cajus Pollmeier discovered a crash during javascript variable assignments in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2015-7204) Ronald Crane discovered a buffer overflow through code inspection. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2015-7205) It was discovered that it is possible to read cross-origin URLs following a redirect if performance.getEntries() is used with an iframe to host a page. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass same-origin restrictions. (CVE-2015-7207) It was discovered that Firefox allows for control characters to be set in cookies. An attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct cookie injection attacks on some web servers. (CVE-2015-7208) Looben Yang discovered a use-after-free in WebRTC when closing channels in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2015-7210) Abdulrahman Alqabandi discovered that hash symbol is incorrectly handled when parsing data: URLs. An attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct URL spoofing attacks. (CVE-2015-7211) Abhishek Arya discovered an integer overflow when allocating large textures. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2015-7212) Ronald Crane dicovered an integer overflow when processing MP4 format video in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2015-7213) Tsubasa Iinuma discovered a way to bypass same-origin restrictions using data: and view-source: URLs. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information and read local files. (CVE-2015-7214) Masato Kinugawa discovered a cross-origin information leak in error events in web workers. An attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2015-7215) Gustavo Grieco discovered that the file chooser crashed on malformed images due to flaws in the Jasper library. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-7216, CVE-2015-7217) Stuart Larsen discoverd two integer underflows when handling malformed HTTP/2 frames in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash. (CVE-2015-7218, CVE-2015-7219) Gerald Squelart discovered an integer underflow in the libstagefright library when parsing MP4 format video in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2015-7222) Kris Maglione discovered a mechanism where web content could use WebExtension APIs to execute code with the privileges of a particular WebExtension. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website with a vulnerable extension installed, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information or conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2015-7223)
