The Mozilla Maintenance Service in Mozilla Firefox before 22.0 on Windows does not properly handle inability to launch the Mozilla Updater executable file, which allows local users to gain privileges via vectors involving placement of a Trojan horse executable file at an arbitrary location.

Versions of Mozilla Thunderbird prior to 17.0.7 are affected by the following vulnerabilites : 

 - Various, unspecified memory safety issues exist.(CVE-2013-1682, CVE-2013-1683)
 - Heap-use-after-free errors exist related to 'LookupMediaElementURITable', 'nsIDocument::GetRootElement' and 'mozilla::ResetDir'. (CVE-2013-1684, CVE-2013-1685, CVE-2013-1686)
 - An error exists related to 'XBL scope', 'System Only Wrappers' (SOW) and chrome-privileged pages that could allow cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2013-1687)
 - An error exists related to the 'profiler' that could allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-1688)
 - An error related to 'onreadystatechange' and unmapped memory could cause application crashes and allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-1690)
 - The application sends data in the body of XMLHttpRequest (XHR) HEAD requests and could aid in cross-site request forgery attacks. (CVE-2013-1692)
 - An error related to the processing of SVG content could allow a timing attack to disclose information across domains. (CVE-2013-1693)
 - An error exists related to 'PreserveWrapper' and the 'preserved-wrapper' flag that could cause potentially exploitable application crashes. (CVE-2013-1694) - An error exists related to '<iframe sandbox>' restrictions that could allow a bypass of these restrictions. (CVE-2013-1695)
 - The 'X-Frame-Options' header is ignored in certain situations and can aid in click-jacking attacks. (CVE-2013-1696)
 - An error exists related to the 'toString' and 'valueOf' methods that could allow 'XrayWrappers' to be bypassed. (CVE-2013-1697)
 - An error exists related to the 'getUserMedia' permission dialog that could allow a user to be tricked into giving access to unintended domains. (CVE-2013-1698)
 - Homograph domain spoofing protection is incomplete and certain attacks are still possible using Internationalized Domain Names (IDN). (CVE-2013-1699)
 - An error exists related to the 'Mozilla Maintenance Service' on Windows that could allow insecure updates. (CVE-2013-1700)

The Mozilla Project reports :

Miscellaneous memory safety hazards (rv:22.0 / rv:17.0.7)

Title: Memory corruption found using Address Sanitizer

Privileged content access and execution via XBL

Arbitrary code execution within Profiler

Execution of unmapped memory through onreadystatechange

Data in the body of XHR HEAD requests leads to CSRF attacks

SVG filters can lead to information disclosure

PreserveWrapper has inconsistent behavior

Sandbox restrictions not applied to nested frame elements

X-Frame-Options ignored when using server push with multi-part responses

XrayWrappers can be bypassed to run user defined methods in a privileged context

getUserMedia permission dialog incorrectly displays location

Homograph domain spoofing in .com, .net and .name

Inaccessible updater can lead to local privilege escalation

Versions of Firefox 21.x and older are potentially affected by the following security issues :

 - Inaccessible updater can lead to local privilege escalation (CVE-2013-1700)
 - Insufficient validation homographic characters could allow for domain spoofing (CVE-2013-1699)
 - The getUserMedia permission dialog incorrectly displays its origin as that of the top level document rather than its calling page, which could result in incorrect camera or microphone permissions for the affected webpage. (CVE-2013-1698)
 - XrayWrappers can be bypassed to run user defined methods in a privileged context (CVE-2013-1697)
 - X-Frame-Options ignored when using server push with multi-part responses (CVE-2013-1696)
 - Various memory corruption issues, including an arbitrary code execution vulnerability through onreadystatechange event (CVE-2013-1690, CVE-2013-1684, CVE-2013-1685, CVE-2013-1686)
 - Data in the body of XHR HEAD requests leads to CSRF attacks (CVE-2013-1692)
 - SVG filters can lead to information disclosure (CVE-2013-1693)
 - SVG filters can lead to information disclosure via timing attacks (CVE-2013-1693)
 - In certain cases, inconsistencies in PreserveWrapper can lead to an exploitable crash (CVE-2013-1694)
 - Sandbox restrictions not applied to nested frame elements (CVE-2013-1695)
 -  X-Frame-Options header is ignored when server push is used in multi-part responses, which can result in clickjacking (CVE-2013-1696)
 - Privileged content access and execution via XBL, which can lead to arbitrary code execution (CVE-2013-1687)
 - Arbitrary code execution within Profiler (CVE-2013-1688)
 - Miscellaneous memory safety issues specifically against versions 21.0 and 17.0.7 (CVE-2013-1682, CVE-2013-1683)
