An anonymous researcher found evidence of memory corruption in the way
|
|
Mozilla Firefox handles certain types of SVG comment DOM nodes.
|
|
Additionally, Frederik Reiss discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in
|
|
the conversion of a CSS cursor. Other issues with memory corruption
|
|
were also fixed. Mozilla Firefox also contains less severe
|
|
vulnerabilities involving JavaScript and Java.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web page
|
|
that will trigger one of the vulnerabilities, possibly leading to the
|
|
execution of arbitrary code. It is also possible for an attacker to
|
|
perform cross-site scripting attacks, leading to the exposure of
|
|
sensitive information, like user credentials.
