Mozilla Firefox ESR < 52.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities
High Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 700332
Synopsis
The remote host has a web browser installed that is vulnerable to multiple attack vectors.
Description
Versions of Mozilla Firefox ESR earlier than 52.5 are unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :
- A flaw exists in the 'NewReactionRecord()' function in 'js/src/builtin/Promise.cpp' that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in the 'VerifyCMSDetachedSignatureIncludingCertificate()' function in 'security/manager/ssl/nsDataSignatureVerifier.cpp' that is triggered when handling PKCS#7 signedData content. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in the 'ContainerLayerComposite::mPrepared()' function in 'gfx/layers/composite/ContainerLayerComposite.cpp' that is triggered when handling layers. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in the 'MArgumentsLength::computeRange()' function in 'js/src/jit/RangeAnalysis.cpp' that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A use-after-free error exists in 'widget/windows/AudioSession.cpp' that is triggered when handling AudioSession objects. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- An unspecified flaw exists that is triggered when handling WebGL texture images. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A use-after-free flaw exists in the 'nsDocShell::~nsDocShell()' function in 'docshell/base/nsDocShell.cpp' that is triggered when notifying observers. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in the 'CleanupOSFileConstants()' function in 'dom/system/OSFileConstants.cpp' related to use of uninitialized memory. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in the 'ApplicationReputationService::~ApplicationReputationService()' function in 'toolkit/components/downloads/ApplicationReputation.cpp' that is triggered as certain pointers are not properly cleared. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in the 'EnumerableOwnProperties()' function in 'js/src/builtin/Object.cpp' that is triggered when rooting objects. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A use-after-free flaw exists in the 'CompositorBridgeChild::RecvDidComposite()' function in 'gfx/layers/ipc/CompositorBridgeChild.cpp' that is triggered when handling texture pools. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in the 'nsViewManager::~nsViewManager()' function in 'view/nsViewManager.cpp' that is triggered as the PresShell object is not properly handled. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in the 'TLSFilterTransaction::Close()' function in 'netwerk/protocol/http/TunnelUtils.cpp' that is triggered as timers are not properly handled when a transaction is canceled. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in the 'EventStateManager::DispatchCrossProcessEvent()' function in 'dom/events/EventStateManager.cpp' that is triggered when handling drag events. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in the 'nsNodeUtils::CloneAndAdopt()' function in 'dom/base/nsNodeUtils.cpp' that is triggered when handling properties of adopted nodes. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A type confusion flaw exists in the 'PropertyReadNeedsTypeBarrier()' function in 'jit/MIR.cpp' that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A logic flaw exists in the 'IsMarkedBlack()' function in 'js/src/gc/Barrier.cpp' that is triggered during gray marking asserts. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A use-after-free error exists that triggered when flushing and resizing the layout, which may cause the PressShell object to be freed while still in use. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists in the 'HttpBaseChannel::GetPerformance()' function in 'netwerk/protocol/http/HttpBaseChannel.cpp' that is triggered as navigations in cross-origin iframes are revealed. Using the Resource Timing API, a context-dependent attacker to gain access to cross-origin URL information.
Solution
Upgrade to Firefox ESR version 52.5 or later.
