CVE-2017-7843: Web worker in Private Browsing mode can write IndexedDB data

CVE-2017-7844: Visited history information leak through SVG image

The version of Mozilla Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 57.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Note: CVE-2017-7844 only affects version 57. Earlier releases are not affected.

The version of Mozilla Firefox installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 57.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Note: CVE-2017-7844 only affects version 57. Earlier releases are not affected.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201802-03 (Mozilla Firefox: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox. Please       review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web       page, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process 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 is no known workaround at this time.

Versions of Mozilla Firefox earlier than 57.0.1 are unpatched for the following vulnerabilities :

 - A flaw exists in the 'PerDocumentStyleDataImpl::visited_styles_enabled()' function in 'servo/components/style/gecko/data.rs'. The issue is triggered when handling the CSS ':visited' selector for a document being used as an SVG image. With a specially crafted web page, a context-dependent attacker disclose visited history information. (CVE-2017-7844)
 - A flaw exists in the 'FactoryOp::CheckPermission()' function in 'dom/indexedDB/ActorsParent.cpp' that is triggered as a web worker in Private Browsing mode can write to IndexedDB. With a specially crafted web page, a context-dependent attacker can uniquely fingerprint a user even when browsing in Private Browsing mode. (CVE-2017-7843)

 - A flaw exists related to speculative execution, which is used as a performance feature to speed up operations. This optimization can result in memory being cached during conditional branches handling out-of-bounds checks. Using a vulnerable code pattern, or a JIT engine or interpreter to generate such a pattern, an attacker can perform a Flush+Reload or Evict+Reload side-channel attack on the cache and disclose parts of the privileged kernel memory.
 - A flaw exists in the fundamental design related to out-of-order process execution, which is used as a performance feature to speed up operations. This optimization can result in memory being cached before exceptions are raised for restricted memory access. Using transient instructions in combination with a Flush+Reload side-channel attack a local attacker can disclose parts of the privileged kernel memory.
 - A flaw exists related to speculative execution, which is used as a performance feature to speed up operations. This optimization can result in memory being cached during indirect branch prediction. This may allow a local attacker to train the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) to trigger a false prediction to a specially crafted memory location, causing a speculative execution of a crafted gadget and the caching of arbitrary memory. Using a side-channel attack on the cache the attacker can disclose parts of the privileged kernel memory.
