The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201504-01 (Mozilla Products: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Firefox, Thunderbird,       and SeaMonkey. 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, spoof       the address bar, conduct clickjacking attacks, bypass security       restrictions and protection mechanisms,  or have other unspecified       impact.
  Workaround :

    There are no known workarounds at this time.

The version of Firefox installed on the remote host is a version prior to 31.0. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - When a pair of NSSCertificate structures are added to a     trust domain and then one of them is removed during use,     a use-after-free error occurs which may cause the     application to crash. This crash is potentially     exploitable. (CVE-2014-1544)

  - There are multiple memory safety hazards within the     browser engine. These hazards may lead to memory     corruption vulnerabilities, which may allow attackers     to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-1547,     CVE-2014-1548)

  - A buffer overflow exists when interacting with the Web     Audio buffer during playback due to an error with the     allocation of memory for the buffer. This may lead to     a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2014-1549)

  - A use-after-free exists in Web Audio due to the way     control messages are handled. This may lead to a     potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2014-1550)

  - There is a potential use-after-free issue in     DirectWrite font handling. This may allow an attacker     to potentially execute arbitrary code within the context     of the user running the application. (CVE-2014-1551)

  - There is an issue with the IFRAME sandbox same-origin     access policy which allows sandboxed content to access     other content from the same origin without approval.
    This may lead to a same-origin-bypass vulnerability.
    (CVE-2014-1552)

  - Triggering the FireOnStateChange event has the     potential to crash the application. This may lead to     a use-after-free and an exploitable crash.
    (CVE-2014-1555)

  - When using the Cesium JavaScript library to generate     WebGL content, the application may crash. This crash     is potentially exploitable. (CVE-2014-1556)

  - There is a flaw in the Skia library when scaling images     of high quality. If the image data is discarded while     being processed, the library may crash. This crash     is potentially exploitable. (CVE-2014-1557)

  - There are multiple issues with using invalid     characters in various certificates. These invalid     characters may cause certificates to be parsed     incorrectly which may lead to the inability to use     valid SSL certificates. (CVE-2014-1558, CVE-2014-1559,     CVE-2014-1560)

  - It may be possible to spoof drag and drop events in     web content. This may allow limited ability to interact     with the UI. (CVE-2014-1561)

Christian Holler, David Keeler, Byron Campen, Gary Kwong, Jesse Ruderman, Andrew McCreight, Alon Zakai, Bobby Holley, Jonathan Watt, Shu-yu Guo, Steve Fink, Terrence Cole, Gijs Kruitbosch and Catalin Badea 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-2014-1547, CVE-2014-1548)

Atte Kettunen discovered a buffer overflow when interacting with WebAudio buffers. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2014-1549)

Atte Kettunen discovered a use-after-free in WebAudio. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2014-1550)

David Chan and Gijs Kruitbosch discovered that web content could spoof UI customization events in some circumstances, resulting in a limited ability to move UI icons. (CVE-2014-1561)

Jethro Beekman discovered a use-after-free when the FireOnStateChange event is triggered in some circumstances. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the priviliges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2014-1555)

Patrick Cozzi discovered a crash when using the Cesium JS library to generate WebGL content. An attacker could potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privilges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2014-1556)

Tyson Smith and Jesse Schwartzentruber discovered a use-after-free in CERT_DestroyCertificate. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2014-1544)

A crash was discovered in Skia when scaling an image, if the scaling operation takes too long. An attacker could potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2014-1557)

Christian Holler discovered several issues when parsing certificates with non-standard character encoding, resulting in the inability to use valid SSL certificates in some circumstances. (CVE-2014-1558, CVE-2014-1559, CVE-2014-1560)

Boris Zbarsky discovered that network redirects could cause an iframe to escape the confinements defined by its sandbox attribute in some circumstances. An attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2014-1552).

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.
