23 description: |
24 Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory safety
25 bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based
26 products. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption under
27 certain circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at least
28 some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code (CVE-2013-1701).
29
30 Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported that through an
31 interaction of frames and browser history it was possible to make
32 the browser believe attacker-supplied content came from the location
33 of a previous page in browser history. This allows for cross-site
34 scripting (XSS) attacks by loading scripts from a misrepresented
35 malicious site through relative locations and the potential access
36 of stored credentials of a spoofed site (CVE-2013-1709).
37
38 Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported a mechanism to
39 execute arbitrary code or a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack when
40 Certificate Request Message Format (CRMF) request is generated in
41 certain circumstances (CVE-2013-1710).
42
43 Security researcher Cody Crews reported that some Javascript components
44 will perform checks against the wrong uniform resource identifier
45 (URI) before performing security sensitive actions. This will return
46 an incorrect location for the originator of the call. This could be
47 used to bypass same-origin policy, allowing for cross-site scripting
48 (XSS) or the installation of malicious add-ons from third-party pages
49 (CVE-2013-1713).
50
51 Mozilla community member Federico Lanusse reported a mechanism where
52 a web worker can violate same-origin policy and bypass cross-origin
53 checks through XMLHttpRequest. This could allow for cross-site
54 scripting (XSS) attacks by web workers (CVE-2013-1714).
55
56 Security researcher Georgi Guninski reported an issue with Java
57 applets where in some circumstances the applet could access files on
58 the local system when loaded using the a file:/// URI and violate file
59 origin policy due to interaction with the codebase parameter. This
60 affects applets running on the local file system. Mozilla developer
61 John Schoenick later discovered that fixes for this issue were
62 inadequate and allowed the invocation of Java applets to bypass
63 security checks in additional circumstances. This could lead to
64 untrusted Java applets having read-only access on the local files
65 system if used in conjunction with a method to download a file to a
66 known or guessable path (CVE-2013-1717).
