Untrusted search path vulnerability in the installer in Mozilla Firefox before 17.0 and Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.11 on Windows allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in the default downloads directory.

Mozilla Firefox has been updated to the 10.0.11 ESR security release, which fixes various bugs and security issues.

  - Security researcher miaubiz used the Address Sanitizer     tool to discover a series critically rated of     use-after-free, buffer overflow, and memory corruption     issues in shipped software. These issues are potentially     exploitable, allowing for remote code execution. We     would also like to thank miaubiz for reporting two     additional use-after-free and memory corruption issues     introduced during Firefox development that have been     fixed before general release. (MFSA 2012-106)

    In general these flaws cannot be exploited through email     in the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products because     scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in     browser or browser-like contexts in those products.

    The following issues have been fixed in Firefox 17 and     ESR 10.0.11 :

  - Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski reported that when a     maliciously crafted stylesheet is inspected in the Style     Inspector, HTML and CSS can run in a chrome privileged     context without being properly sanitized first. This can     lead to arbitrary code execution. (MFSA 2012-104 /     CVE-2012-4210)

  - Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski reported that the     location property can be accessed by binary plugins     through top.location with a frame whose name attribute's     value is set to 'top'. This can allow for possible     cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks through plugins.
    (MFSA 2012-103 / CVE-2012-4209)

    In general these flaws cannot be exploited through email     in the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products because     scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in     browser or browser-like contexts in those products.

  - Security researcher Masato Kinugawa reported that when     script is entered into the Developer Toolbar, it runs in     a chrome privileged context. This allows for arbitrary     code execution or cross-site scripting (XSS) if a user     can be convinced to paste malicious code into the     Developer Toolbar. (MFSA 2012-102 / CVE-2012-5837)

  - Security researcher Masato Kinugawa found when     HZ-GB-2312 charset encoding is used for text, the '~'     character will destroy another character near the chunk     delimiter. This can lead to a cross-site scripting (XSS)     attack in pages encoded in HZ-GB-2312. (MFSA 2012-101 /     CVE-2012-4207)

  - Mozilla developer Bobby Holley reported that security     wrappers filter at the time of property access, but once     a function is returned, the caller can use this function     without further security checks. This affects     cross-origin wrappers, allowing for write actions on     objects when only read actions should be properly     allowed. This can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS)     attacks. (MFSA 2012-100 / CVE-2012-5841)

    In general these flaws cannot be exploited through email     in the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products because     scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in     browser or browser-like contexts in those products.

  - Mozilla developer Peter Van der Beken discovered that     same-origin XrayWrappers expose chrome-only properties     even when not in a chrome compartment. This can allow     web content to get properties of DOM objects that are     intended to be chrome-only. (MFSA 2012-99 /     CVE-2012-4208)

    In general these flaws cannot be exploited through email     in the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products because     scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in     browser or browser-like contexts in those products.

  - Security researcher Robert Kugler reported that when a     specifically named DLL file on a Windows computer is     placed in the default downloads directory with the     Firefox installer, the Firefox installer will load this     DLL when it is launched. In circumstances where the     installer is run by an administrator privileged account,     this allows for the downloaded DLL file to be run with     administrator privileges. This can lead to arbitrary     code execution from a privileged account. (MFSA 2012-98     / CVE-2012-4206)

  - Mozilla developer Gabor Krizsanits discovered that     XMLHttpRequest objects created within sandboxes have the     system principal instead of the sandbox principal. This     can lead to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) or     information theft via an add-on running untrusted code     in a sandbox. (MFSA 2012-97 / CVE-2012-4205)

  - Security researcher Scott Bell of     Security-Assessment.com used the Address Sanitizer tool     to discover a memory corruption in str_unescape in the     JavaScript engine. This could potentially lead to     arbitrary code execution. (MFSA 2012-96 / CVE-2012-4204)

    In general these flaws cannot be exploited through email     in the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products because     scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in     browser or browser-like contexts in those products.

  - Security researcher kakzz.ng@gmail.com reported that if     a javascript: URL is selected from the list of Firefox     'new tab' page, the script will inherit the privileges     of the privileged 'new tab' page. This allows for the     execution of locally installed programs if a user can be     convinced to save a bookmark of a malicious javascript:
    URL. (MFSA 2012-95 / CVE-2012-4203)

  - Security researcher Jonathan Stephens discovered that     combining SVG text on a path with the setting of CSS     properties could lead to a potentially exploitable     crash. (MFSA 2012-94 / CVE-2012-5836)

  - Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported that     if code executed by the evalInSandbox function sets     location.href, it can get the wrong subject principal     for the URL check, ignoring the sandbox's JavaScript     context and gaining the context of evalInSandbox object.
    This can lead to malicious web content being able to     perform a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack or stealing     a copy of a local file if the user has installed an     add-on vulnerable to this attack. (MFSA 2012-93 /     CVE-2012-4201)

  - Security researcher Atte Kettunen from OUSPG used the     Address Sanitizer tool to discover a buffer overflow     while rendering GIF format images. This issue is     potentially exploitable and could lead to arbitrary code     execution. (MFSA 2012-92 / CVE-2012-4202)

  - Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory     safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and     other Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs showed     evidence of memory corruption under certain     circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at     least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary     code. (MFSA 2012-91)

    In general these flaws cannot be exploited through email     in the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products because     scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in     browser or browser-like contexts in those products.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201301-01 (Mozilla Products: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox,       Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, NSS, GNU IceCat, and XULRunner. Please review the       CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web       page or email, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a       Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able       to perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks, obtain sensitive information,       bypass restrictions and protection mechanisms, force file downloads,       conduct XML injection attacks, conduct XSS attacks, bypass the Same       Origin Policy, spoof URL&rsquo;s for phishing attacks, trigger a vertical       scroll, spoof the location bar, spoof an SSL indicator, modify the       browser&rsquo;s font, conduct clickjacking attacks, or have other unspecified       impact.
    A local attacker could gain escalated privileges, obtain sensitive       information, or replace an arbitrary downloaded file.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Versions of Firefox 16.x are potentially affected by the following security issues :
