Mozilla Firefox < 54 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 700134

Synopsis

The remote host has a web browser installed that is vulnerable to multiple attack vectors.

Description

Multiple memory corruption issues exist that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website. (CVE-2017-5470, CVE-2017-5471)
 - A use-after-free error exists in the 'EndUpdate()' function in 'nsCSSFrameConstructor.cpp' that is triggered when reconstructing trees during regeneration of CSS layouts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5472)
 - A use-after-free error exists in the 'Reload()' function in 'nsDocShell.cpp' that is triggered when using an incorrect URL during the reload of a docshell. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7749)
 - A use-after-free error exists in the 'Hide()' function in 'nsDocumentViewer.cpp' that is triggered when handling track elements. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7750)
 - A use-after-free error exists in the nsDocumentViewer class in 'nsDocumentViewer.cpp' that is triggered when handling content viewer listeners. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7751)
 - A use-after-free error exists that is triggered when handling events while specific user interaction occurs with the input method editor (IME). An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7752)
 - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the 'IsComplete()' function in 'WebGLTexture.cpp' that is triggered when handling textures. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose memory contents. (CVE-2017-7754)
 - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists due to improper loading of dynamic-link library (DLL) files. A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted DLL file in the installation path, to inject and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7755)
 - A use-after-free error exists in the 'SetRequestHead()' function in 'XMLHttpRequestMainThread.cpp' that is triggered when logging XML HTTP Requests (XHR). An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7756)
 - A use-after-free error exists in 'ActorsParent.cpp' due to improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7757)
 - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the 'AppendAudioSegment()' function in 'TrackEncoder.cpp' that is triggered when the number of channels in an audio stream changes while the Opus encoder is in use. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2017-7758)
 - A flaw exists in the 'NS_main()' function in 'updater.cpp' due to improper validation of input when handling callback file path parameters. A local attacker can exploit this to manipulate files in the installation directory. (CVE-2017-7760)
 - A flaw exists in the Maintenance Service 'helper.exe' application that is triggered as permissions for a temporary directory are set to writable by non-privileged users. A local attacker can exploit this to delete arbitrary files on the system. (CVE-2017-7761)
 - A flaw exists that is triggered when displaying URLs including authentication sections in reader mode. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted URL, to spoof domains in the address bar. (CVE-2017-7762)
 - A flaw exists in the 'ReadCMAP()' function in 'gfxMacPlatformFontList.mm' that is triggered when handling tibetan characters in combination with macOS fonts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted IDN domain, to spoof a valid URL. (CVE-2017-7763)
 - A flaw exists in the 'isLabelSafe()' function in 'nsIDNService.cpp' that is triggered when handling characters from different unicode blocks. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted IDN domain, to spoof a valid URL and conduct phishing attacks. (CVE-2017-7764)
 - Multiple integer overflow conditions exist in the Graphite component in the 'decompress()' function in 'Decompressor.cpp' due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7772, CVE-2017-7778)
 - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the Graphite component in the 'readGraphite()' function in 'Silf.cpp'. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or disclose memory contents. (CVE-2017-7774)
 - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the Graphite component in 'getClassGlyph()' function in 'Silf.cpp' due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-7776)
 - An flaw exists in the Graphite component in the 'read_glyph()' function in 'GlyphCache.cpp' related to use of uninitialized memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to have an unspecified impact. (CVE-2017-7777)
