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.

USN-2743-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. Future Firefox updates will require all addons be signed and unity-firefox-extension, webapps-greasemonkey and webaccounts-browser-extension will not go through the signing process. Because these addons currently break search engine installations (LP: #1069793), this update permanently disables the addons by removing them from the system.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

  - CVE-2015-4510: Race condition in the     WorkerPrivate::NotifyFeatures function in Mozilla     Firefox before 41.0 allowed remote attackers to execute     arbitrary code or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free and application crash) by leveraging     improper interaction between shared workers and the     IndexedDB implementation (bsc#947003).

  - CVE-2015-4512: gfx/2d/DataSurfaceHelpers.cpp in Mozilla     Firefox before 41.0 on Linux improperly attempts to use     the Cairo library with 32-bit color-depth surface     creation followed by 16-bit color-depth surface display,     which allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive     information from process memory or cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds read) by using a CANVAS element     to trigger 2D rendering (bsc#947003).

  - CVE-2015-4517: NetworkUtils.cpp in Mozilla Firefox     before 41.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.3 might     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly     have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors     (bsc#947003).

  - CVE-2015-4516: Mozilla Firefox before 41.0 allowed     remote attackers to bypass certain ECMAScript 5 (aka     ES5) API protection mechanisms and modify immutable     properties, and consequently execute arbitrary     JavaScript code with chrome privileges, via a crafted     web page that did not use ES5 APIs (bsc#947003).

  - CVE-2015-4519: Mozilla Firefox before 41.0 and Firefox     ESR 38.x before 38.3 allowed user-assisted remote     attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and     discover a redirect's target URL via crafted JavaScript     code that executes after a drag-and-drop action of an     image into a TEXTBOX element (bsc#947003).

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2015-4500, CVE-2015-4509, CVE-2015-4510)

The version of Mozilla Firefox is prior to 41.0 and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities : 

 - A flaw exists in ReadbackResultWriterD3D11::Run(). The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling return statuses. This may potentially allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2015-7180) 
 - A flaw exists in InitTextures(). The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may potentially allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2015-7117) 
 - An overflow condition exists in AnimationThread(). The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling sscanf arguments. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a stack overflow, resulting in an unspecified impact. (CVE-2015-7176) 
 - An overflow condition exists in XULContentSinkImpl::AddText(). The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in an unspecified impact. (CVE-2015-7175) 
 - An overflow condition exists in the nsAttrAndChildArray::GrowBy() function in 'dom/base/nsAttrAndChildArray.cpp'. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-7174) 
 - An overflow condition exists in the nsUnicode*::GetMaxLength() functions that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4522) 
 - A flaw exists in ConvertDialogOptions(). The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may potentially allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2015-4521) 
 - A flaw exists in NetworkUtils.cpp. The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may potentially allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2015-4517) 
 - An out-of-bounds read flaw exists in 'gfx/2d/DataSurfaceHelpers.cpp' that is triggered during the rendering of 2D canvases. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to potentially disclose sensitive memory contents. (CVE-2015-4512) 
 - A flaw exists that is triggered when identical cache keys may be generated for distinct preflight requests on a site. This may potentially allow a subsequent request to bypass intended cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) checks. (CVE-2015-4520) 
 - A flaw exists that is triggered when handling images that have been "dragged and dropped" after a redirect. The redirected URL of the image may be available to scripts, potentially allowing a context-dependent attacker to gain unauthorized access to it. (CVE-2015-4519) 
 - A use-after-free error exists in 'dom/html/HTMLMediaElement.cpp' that is triggered during the handling of HTML media elements. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4509) 
 - nestegg contains an overflow condition. The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when decoding WebM videos. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a buffer overflow, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4511) 
 - A flaw related to scratch register scope handling exists. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4500) 
 - A flaw exists in the cloneLeftHandSide() function in 'frontend/ParseNode.cpp' that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4500) 
 - A flaw exists that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4500) 
 - A flaw exists in 'memory/mozjemalloc/jemalloc.c' that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4500) 
 - A flaw exists in the stagefright component that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4500) 
 - A flaw exists that is triggered when handling generator function groups, as they have an improper prototype. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4500) 
 - A flaw exists in the nsXBLService::GetBinding() function in 'dom/xbl/nsXBLService.cpp' that is triggered when loading bindings. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4500) 
 - A flaw exists in the IndexedDB component that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4500)
 - A use-after-free error exists in 'nsIPresShell' that is triggered when handling a restyling operation during the resizing of a canvas element. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4497)
 - A flaw exists that is triggered when handling add-on installation using 'data:' URLs. With a specially crafted web page, a context-dependent attacker can bypass the install permission prompt for add-ons and install add-ons from malicious sources. (CVE-2015-4498)
