Mozilla Firefox < 64.0

critical Nessus Plugin ID 122192

Synopsis

A web browser installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 64.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the mfsa2018-29 advisory.

 - A potential vulnerability leading to an integer overflow can occur during buffer size calculations for images when a raw value is used instead of the checked value. This can lead to an out-of-bounds write.
 (CVE-2018-18498)

 - A buffer overflow occurs when drawing and validating elements with the ANGLE graphics library, used for WebGL content, when working with the <code>VertexBuffer11</code> module. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2018-12407)

 - A buffer overflow and out-of-bounds read can occur in <code>TextureStorage11</code> within the ANGLE graphics library, used for WebGL content. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
 (CVE-2018-17466)

 - A use-after-free vulnerability can occur after deleting a selection element due to a weak reference to the <code>select</code> element in the <code>options</code> collection. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2018-18492)

 - A buffer overflow can occur in the Skia library during buffer offset calculations with hardware accelerated canvas 2D actions due to the use of 32-bit calculations instead of 64-bit. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2018-18493)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Mozilla Firefox version 64.0 or later.
