3. Description:

 

Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL

Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox.

 

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-2014-1493, CVE-2014-1510, CVE-2014-1511, CVE-2014-1512,

CVE-2014-1513, CVE-2014-1514)

 

Several information disclosure flaws were found in the way Firefox

processed malformed web content. An attacker could use these flaws to gain

access to sensitive information such as cross-domain content or protected

memory addresses or, potentially, cause Firefox to crash. (CVE-2014-1497,

CVE-2014-1508, CVE-2014-1505)

 

A memory corruption flaw was found in the way Firefox rendered certain PDF

files. An attacker able to trick a user into installing a malicious

extension could use this flaw to crash Firefox or, potentially, execute

arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox.

(CVE-2014-1509)

 

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

Upstream acknowledges Benoit Jacob, Olli Pettay, Jan Varga, Jan de Mooij,

Jesse Ruderman, Dan Gohman, Christoph Diehl, Atte Kettunen, Tyson Smith,

Jesse Schwartzentruber, John Thomson, Robert O'Callahan, Mariusz Mlynski,

Jüri Aedla, George Hotz, and the security research firm VUPEN as the

original reporters of these issues.

 

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

advisories for Firefox 24.4.0 ESR. You can find a link to the Mozilla

advisories in the References section of this erratum.

 

All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain

Firefox version 24.4.0 ESR, which corrects these issues. After installing

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