The installed version of Firefox is earlier than 27.0 and is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Memory issues exist in the browser engine that could     result in a denial of service or arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2014-1477, CVE-2014-1478)

  - An error exists related to System Only Wrappers (SOW)     and the XML Binding Language (XBL) that could allow     XUL content to be disclosed. (CVE-2014-1479)

  - An error exists related to the 'open file' dialog that     could allow users to take unintended actions.
    (CVE-2014-1480)

  - An error exists related to the JavaScript engine and     'window' object handling that has unspecified impact.
    (CVE-2014-1481)

  - An error exists related to 'RasterImage' and image     decoding that could allow application crashes and     possibly arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-1482)

  - Errors exist related to IFrames,     'document.caretPositionFromPoint' and     'document.elementFromPoint' that could allow cross-     origin information disclosure. (CVE-2014-1483)

  - An error exists related to the Content Security     Policy (CSP) and XSLT stylesheets that could allow     unintended script execution.  (CVE-2014-1485)

  - A use-after-free error exists related to image handling     and 'imgRequestProxy' that could allow application     crashes and possibly arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2014-1486)

  - An error exists related to 'web workers' that could     allow cross-origin information disclosure.
    (CVE-2014-1487)

  - An error exists related to 'web workers' and 'asm.js'     that could allow application crashes and possibly     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2014-1488)

  - Network Security Services (NSS) contains a race     condition in libssl that occurs during session ticket     processing. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw     to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2014-1490)

  - Network Security Services (NSS) does not properly     restrict public values in Diffie-Hellman key exchanges,     allowing a remote attacker to bypass cryptographic     protection mechanisms. (CVE-2014-1491)

The installed version of SeaMonkey is earlier than 2.24 and is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities :

Christian Holler, Terrence Cole, Jesse Ruderman, Gary Kwong, Eric Rescorla, Jonathan Kew, Dan Gohman, Ryan VanderMeulen, Carsten Book, Andrew Sutherland, Byron Campen, Nicholas Nethercote, Paul Adenot, David Baron, Julian Seward and Sotaro Ikeda discovered multiple memory safety issues in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox.
(CVE-2014-1477, CVE-2014-1478)

Cody Crews discovered a method to bypass System Only Wrappers. An attacker could potentially exploit this to steal confidential data or execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox.

Mozilla Firefox was updated to version 27. Mozilla SeaMonkey was updated to 2.24, fixing similar issues as Firefox 27. Mozilla Thunderbird was updated to 24.3.0, fixing similar issues as Firefox 27.

The Firefox 27 release brings TLS 1.2 support as a major security feature.

It also fixes following security issues :

Mozilla NSS was updated to 3.15.4 :

  - required for Firefox 27

  - regular CA root store update (1.96)

  - Reordered the cipher suites offered in SSL/TLS client     hello messages to match modern best practices.

  - Improved SSL/TLS false start. In addition to enabling     the SSL_ENABLE_FALSE_START option, an application must     now register a callback using the     SSL_SetCanFalseStartCallback function.

  - When false start is enabled, libssl will sometimes     return unencrypted, unauthenticated data from PR_Recv     (CVE-2013-1740, bmo#919877)

  - MFSA 2014-12/CVE-2014-1490/CVE-2014-1491 NSS ticket     handling issues New functionality

  - Implemented OCSP querying using the HTTP GET method,     which is the new default, and will fall back to the HTTP     POST method.

  - Implemented OCSP server functionality for testing     purposes (httpserv utility).

  - Support SHA-1 signatures with TLS 1.2 client     authentication.

  - Added the --empty-password command-line option to     certutil, to be used with -N: use an empty password when     creating a new database.

  - Added the -w command-line option to pp: don't wrap long     output lines.
