EulerOS 2.0 SP1 : firefox (EulerOS-SA-2016-1046)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 99809

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the firefox package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Mozilla Firefox before 48.0 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information about the previously retrieved page via Resource Timing API calls.(CVE-2016-5250)

- Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 49.0 and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.4 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.(CVE-2016-5257)

- Integer overflow in the WebSocketChannel class in the WebSockets subsystem in Mozilla Firefox before 48.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via crafted packets that trigger incorrect buffer-resize operations during buffering.(CVE-2016-5261)

- Heap-based buffer overflow in the nsCaseTransformTextRunFactory::TransformString function in Mozilla Firefox before 49.0 and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (boolean out-of-bounds write) or possibly have unspecified other impact via Unicode characters that are mishandled during text conversion.(CVE-2016-5270)

- The nsImageGeometryMixin class in Mozilla Firefox before 49.0 and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.4 does not properly perform a cast of an unspecified variable during handling of INPUT elements, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site.(CVE-2016-5272)

- Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsFrameManager::CaptureFrameState function in Mozilla Firefox before 49.0 and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging improper interaction between restyling and the Web Animations model implementation.(CVE-2016-5274)

- Use-after-free vulnerability in the mozilla::a11y::DocAccessible::ProcessInvalidationList function in Mozilla Firefox before 49.0 and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via an aria-owns attribute.(CVE-2016-5276)

- Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsRefreshDriver::Tick function in Mozilla Firefox before 49.0 and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) by leveraging improper interaction between timeline destruction and the Web Animations model implementation.(CVE-2016-5277)

- Heap-based buffer overflow in the nsBMPEncoder::AddImageFrame function in Mozilla Firefox before 49.0 and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted image data that is mishandled during the encoding of an image frame to an image.(CVE-2016-5278)

- Use-after-free vulnerability in the mozilla::nsTextNodeDirectionalityMap::RemoveElementFrom Map function in Mozilla Firefox before 49.0 and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via bidirectional text.(CVE-2016-5280)

- Use-after-free vulnerability in the DOMSVGLength class in Mozilla Firefox before 49.0 and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging improper interaction between JavaScript code and an SVG document.(CVE-2016-5281)

- Mozilla Firefox before 49.0 and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.4 rely on unintended expiration dates for Preloaded Public Key Pinning, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof add-on updates by leveraging possession of an X.509 server certificate for addons.mozilla.org signed by an arbitrary built-in Certification Authority.(CVE-2016-5284)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected firefox packages.
