GLSA-201605-06

Versions of Mozilla Firefox ESR prior to 31.7 are unpatched for the following vulnerabilities : 

 - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Inter-process Communications (IPC) implementation due to a failure to validate the identity of a listener process. (MFSA2015-57) 
 - An issue exists in the Mozilla updater in which DLL files in the current working directory or Windows temporary directories will be loaded, allowing the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-0833, CVE-2015-2720) 
 - Multiple memory corruption issues exist within the browser engine. A remote attacker can exploit these to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2708, CVE-2015-2709) 
 - A buffer overflow condition exists in 'SVGTextFrame.cpp' when rendering SVG graphics that are combined with certain CSS properties due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2710) 
 - A security bypass vulnerability exists due to the referrer policy not being enforced in certain situations when opening links (e.g. using the context menu or a middle-clicks by mouse). A remote attacker can exploit this to bypass intended policy settings. (CVE-2015-2711) 
 - An out-of-bounds read and write issue exists in the 'CheckHeapLengthCondition()' function due to improper JavaScript validation of heap lengths. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted web page, to disclose memory contents. (CVE-2015-2712) 
 - A use-after-free error exists due to improper processing of text when vertical text is enabled. A remote attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory. (CVE-2015-2713) - A use-after-free error exists in the 'RegisterCurrentThread()' function in 'nsThreadManager.cpp' due to a race condition related to media decoder threads created during the shutdown process. A remote attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory. (CVE-2015-2715) 
 - A buffer overflow condition exists in the 'XML_GetBuffer()' function in xmlparse.c due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling compressed XML content. An attacker can exploit this to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2716) 
 - An integer overflow condition exists in the 'parseChunk()' function in 'MPEG4Extractor.cpp' due to improper handling of MP4 video metadata in chunks. A remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted media content, to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-2717) 
 - A security bypass vulnerability exists in 'WebChannel.jsm' due to improper handling of message traffic. An untrusted page hosting a trusted page within an iframe can intercept webchannel responses for the trusted page. This allows a remote attacker, via a specially crafted web page, to bypass origin restrictions, resulting in the disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2015-2718) 
 - Multiple integer overflow conditions exist in the bundled libstagefright component due to improper validation of user-supplied input when processing MPEG4 sample metadata. A remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted media content, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4496)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201605-06 (Mozilla Products: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Firefox, NSS, NSPR, and       Thunderbird. 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, spoof       the address bar, conduct clickjacking attacks, bypass security       restrictions and protection mechanisms, or have other unspecified       impacts.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Versions of Mozilla Firefox earlier than 38.0 are unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

Changes in Mozilla NSS :

  - update to 3.18.1

  - Firefox target release 38

  - No new functionality is introduced in this release.
    Notable Changes :

  - The following CA certificate had the Websites and Code     Signing trust bits restored to their original state to     allow more time to develop a better transition strategy     for affected sites :

  - OU = Equifax Secure Certificate Authority

  - The following CA certificate was removed :

  - CN = e-Guven Kok Elektronik Sertifika Hizmet Saglayicisi

  - The following intermediate CA certificate has been added     as actively distrusted because it was mis-used to issue     certificates for domain names the holder did not own or     control :

  - CN=MCSHOLDING TEST, O=MCSHOLDING, C=EG

  - The version number of the updated root CA list has been     set to 2.4

  - update to 3.18

  - Firefox target release 38 New functionality :

  - When importing certificates and keys from a PKCS#12     source, it's now possible to override the nicknames,     prior to importing them into the NSS database, using new     API SEC_PKCS12DecoderRenameCertNicknames.

  - The tstclnt test utility program has new command-line     options

    -C, -D, -b and -R. Use -C one, two or three times to     print information about the certificates received from a     server, and information about the locally found and     trusted issuer certificates, to diagnose server side     configuration issues. It is possible to run tstclnt
