3. Description:

 

Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser.

 

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-2014-1518, CVE-2014-1524, CVE-2014-1529, CVE-2014-1531)

 

A use-after-free flaw was found in the way Firefox resolved hosts in

certain circumstances. An attacker could use this flaw to crash Firefox or,

potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running

Firefox. (CVE-2014-1532)

 

An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the way Firefox decoded JPEG

images. Loading a web page containing a specially crafted JPEG image could

cause Firefox to crash. (CVE-2014-1523)

 

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled browser navigations through

history. An attacker could possibly use this flaw to cause the address bar

of the browser to display a web page name while loading content from an

entirely different web page, which could allow for cross-site scripting

(XSS) attacks. (CVE-2014-1530)

 

Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting these issues.

Upstream acknowledges Bobby Holley, Carsten Book, Christoph Diehl, Gary

Kwong, Jan de Mooij, Jesse Ruderman, Nathan Froyd, Christian Holler,

Abhishek Arya, Mariusz Mlynski, moz_bug_r_a4, Nils, Tyson Smith, and Jesse

Schwartzentrube as the original reporters of these issues.

 

For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla security

advisories for Firefox 24.5.0 ESR. You can find a link to the Mozilla

advisories in the References section of this erratum.

 

All Firefox users should upgrade to this updated package, which contains

Firefox version 24.5.0 ESR, which corrects these issues. After installing

the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
