Bob Clary, Christian Holler, Brian Hackett, Bobby Holley, Gary Kwong, Hilary Hall, Honza Bambas, Jesse Ruderman, Julian Seward, and Olli Pettay discovered memory safety issues affecting Firefox. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2012-0467, CVE-2012-0468)

Aki Helin discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in XPConnect. An attacker could potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2012-0469)

Atte Kettunen discovered that invalid frees cause heap corruption in gfxImageSurface. If a user were tricked into opening a malicious Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) image file, an attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox.
(CVE-2012-0470)

Anne van Kesteren discovered a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via multibyte content processing errors. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing a specially crafted page, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain. (CVE-2012-0471)

Matias Juntunen discovered a vulnerability in Firefox's WebGL implementation that potentially allows the reading of illegal video memory. An attacker could possibly exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash.
(CVE-2012-0473)

Jordi Chancel, Eddy Bordi, and Chris McGowen discovered that Firefox allowed the address bar to display a different website than the one the user was visiting. This could potentially leave the user vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing a specially crafted page, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain. (CVE-2012-0474)

Simone Fabiano discovered that Firefox did not always send correct origin headers when connecting to an IPv6 websites.
An attacker could potentially use this to bypass intended access controls. (CVE-2012-0475)

Masato Kinugawa discovered that cross-site scripting (XSS) injection is possible during the decoding of ISO-2022-KR and ISO-2022-CN character sets. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing a specially crafted page, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain. (CVE-2012-0477)

It was discovered that certain images rendered using WebGL could cause Firefox to crash. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2012-0478)

Mateusz Jurczyk discovered an off-by-one error in the OpenType Sanitizer. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2011-3062)

Daniel Divricean discovered a defect in the error handling of JavaScript errors can potentially leak the file names and location of JavaScript files on a server. This could potentially lead to inadvertent information disclosure and a vector for further attacks. (CVE-2011-1187)

Jeroen van der Gun discovered a vulnerability in the way Firefox handled RSS and Atom feeds. Invalid RSS or ATOM content loaded over HTTPS caused the location bar to be updated with the address of this content, while the main window still displays the previously loaded content. An attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability to conduct phishing attacks. (CVE-2012-0479).

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

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201301-01 (Mozilla Products: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox,       Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, NSS, GNU IceCat, and XULRunner. 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,       bypass restrictions and protection mechanisms, force file downloads,       conduct XML injection attacks, conduct XSS attacks, bypass the Same       Origin Policy, spoof URL&rsquo;s for phishing attacks, trigger a vertical       scroll, spoof the location bar, spoof an SSL indicator, modify the       browser&rsquo;s font, conduct clickjacking attacks, or have other unspecified       impact.
    A local attacker could gain escalated privileges, obtain sensitive       information, or replace an arbitrary downloaded file.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

MozillaFirefox was updated to the 10.0.4 ESR release to fix various bugs and security issues.

  - Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory     safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and     other Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs showed     evidence of memory corruption under certain     circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at     least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary     code. (MFSA 2012-20)

    In general these flaws cannot be exploited through email     in the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products because     scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in     browser or browser-like contexts in those products.

o

Christian Holler a reported memory safety and security problem affecting Firefox 11. (CVE-2012-0468)

o

Bob Clary, Christian Holler, Brian Hackett, Bobby Holley, Gary Kwong, Hilary Hall, Honza Bambas, Jesse Ruderman, Julian Seward, and Olli Pettay reported memory safety problems and crashes that affect Firefox ESR and Firefox 11.
(CVE-2012-0467)

  - Using the Address Sanitizer tool, security researcher     Aki Helin from OUSPG found that IDBKeyRange of indexedDB     remains in the XPConnect hashtable instead of being     unlinked before being destroyed. When it is destroyed,     this causes a use-after-free, which is potentially     exploitable. (MFSA 2012-22 / CVE-2012-0469)

  - Using the Address Sanitizer tool, security researcher     Atte Kettunen from OUSPG found a heap corruption in     gfxImageSurface which allows for invalid frees and     possible remote code execution. This happens due to     float error, resulting from graphics values being passed     through different number systems. (MFSA 2012-23 /     CVE-2012-0470)

  - Anne van Kesteren of Opera Software found a multi-octet     encoding issue where certain octets will destroy the     following octets in the processing of some multibyte     character sets. This can leave users vulnerable to     cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks on maliciously     crafted web pages. (MFSA 2012-24 / CVE-2012-0471)

  - Security research firm iDefense reported that researcher     wushi of team509 discovered a memory corruption on     Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems with hardware     acceleration disabled or using incompatible video     drivers. This is created by using cairo-dwrite to     attempt to render fonts on an unsupported code path.
    This corruption causes a potentially exploitable crash     on affected systems. (MFSA 2012-25 / CVE-2012-0472)

  - Mozilla community member Matias Juntunen discovered an     error in WebGLBuffer where FindMaxElementInSubArray     receives wrong template arguments from     FindMaxUshortElement. This bug causes maximum index to     be computed incorrectly within WebGL.drawElements,     allowing the reading of illegal video memory. (MFSA     2012-26 / CVE-2012-0473)

  - Security researchers Jordi Chancel and Eddy Bordi     reported that they could short-circuit page loads to     show the address of a different site than what is loaded     in the window in the addressbar. Security researcher     Chris McGowen independently reported the same flaw, and     further demonstrated that this could lead to loading     scripts from the attacker's site, leaving users     vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (MFSA     2012-27 / CVE-2012-0474)

  - Security researcher Simone Fabiano reported that if a     cross-site XHR or WebSocket is opened on a web server on     a non-standard port for web traffic while using an IPv6     address, the browser will send an ambiguous origin     headers if the IPv6 address contains at least 2     consecutive 16-bit fields of zeroes. If there is an     origin access control list that uses IPv6 literals, this     issue could be used to bypass these access controls on     the server. (MFSA 2012-28 / CVE-2012-0475)

  - Security researcher Masato Kinugawa found that during     the decoding of ISO-2022-KR and ISO-2022-CN character     sets, characters near 1024 bytes are treated     incorrectly, either doubling or deleting bytes. On     certain pages it might be possible for an attacker to     pad the output of the page such that these errors fall     in the right place to affect the structure of the page,     allowing for cross-site script (XSS) injection. (MFSA     2012-29 / CVE-2012-0477)

  - Mozilla community member Ms2ger found an image rendering     issue with WebGL when texImage2D uses use     JSVAL_TO_OBJECT on arbitrary objects. This can lead to a     crash on a maliciously crafted web page. While there is     no evidence that this is directly exploitable, there is     a possibility of remote code execution. (MFSA 2012-30 /     CVE-2012-0478)

  - Mateusz Jurczyk of the Google Security Team discovered     an off-by-one error in the OpenType Sanitizer using the     Address Sanitizer tool. This can lead to an     out-of-bounds read and execution of an uninitialized     function pointer during parsing and possible remote code     execution. (MFSA 2012-31 / CVE-2011-3062)

  - Security researcher Daniel Divricean reported that a     defect in the error handling of JavaScript errors can     leak the file names and location of JavaScript files on     a server, leading to inadvertent information disclosure     and a vector for further attacks. (MFSA 2012-32 /     CVE-2011-1187)

  - Security researcher Jeroen van der Gun reported that if     RSS or Atom XML invalid content is loaded over HTTPS,     the addressbar updates to display the new location of     the loaded resource, including SSL indicators, while the     main window still displays the previously loaded     content. This allows for phishing attacks where a     malicious page can spoof the identify of another     seemingly secure site. (MFSA 2012-33 / CVE-2012-0479)
