Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu
Gary Kwong, Christian Holler, Byron Campen, Tyson Smith, Bobby Holley, Chris Coulson, and Eric Rahm discovered multiple memory safety issues in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2015-4473, CVE-2015-4474)
Aki Helin discovered an out-of-bounds read when playing malformed MP3 content in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2015-4475)
A use-after-free was discovered during MediaStream playback in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the priviliges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2015-4477)
André Bargull discovered that non-configurable properties on javascript objects could be redefined when parsing JSON. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to bypass same-origin restrictions. (CVE-2015-4478)
Multiple integer overflows were discovered in libstagefright. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2015-4479, CVE-2015-4480, CVE-2015-4493)
Jukka Jylänki discovered a crash that occurs because javascript does not properly gate access to Atomics or SharedArrayBuffers in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-4484)
Abhishek Arya discovered 2 buffer overflows in libvpx when decoding malformed WebM content in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2015-4485, CVE-2015-4486)
Ronald Crane reported 3 security issues. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these, in combination with another security vulnerability, to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2015-4487, CVE-2015-4488, CVE-2015-4489)
Christoph Kerschbaumer discovered an issue with Mozilla's implementation of Content Security Policy (CSP), which could allow for a more permissive usage in some cirucumstances. An attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2015-4490)
Gustavo Grieco discovered a heap overflow in gdk-pixbuf. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the priviliges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2015-4491)
Looben Yang discovered a use-after-free when using XMLHttpRequest with shared workers in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash or execute arbitrary code with the priviliges of the user invoking Firefox.
