ArchLinux: 201708-3: firefox: multiple issues
Summary
- CVE-2017-7753 (information disclosure)
An out-of-bounds read has been found in Firefox < 55.0, when applying
style rules to pseudo-elements, such as ::first-line, using cached
style data.
- CVE-2017-7779 (arbitrary code execution)
Several memory safety bugs have been found in Firefox < 55.0. Some of
these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that
with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run
arbitrary code.
- CVE-2017-7780 (arbitrary code execution)
Several memory safety bugs have been found in Firefox < 55.0. Some of
these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that
with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run
arbitrary code.
- CVE-2017-7781 (incorrect calculation)
An elliptic curve point addition error has been found in Firefox <
55.0. An error occurs in the elliptic curve point addition algorithm
that uses mixed Jacobian-affine coordinates where it can yield a result
POINT_AT_INFINITY when it should not. A man-in-the-middle attacker
could use this to interfere with a connection, resulting in an attacked
party computing an incorrect shared secret.
- CVE-2017-7783 (denial of service)
A denial of service has been found in Firefox < 55.0. If a long user
name is used in a username/password combination in a site URL (such as
@), the resulting modal prompt will
hang in a non-responsive state or crash, causing a denial of service.
- CVE-2017-7784 (arbitrary code execution)
A use-after-free issue has been found in Firefox < 55.0, when reading
an image observer during frame reconstruction after the observer has
been freed. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
- CVE-2017-7785 (arbitrary code execution)
A buffer overflow has been found in Firefox < 55.0, when manipulating
Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) attributes within the DOM.
This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
- CVE-2017-7786 (arbitrary code execution)
A buffer overflow has been found in Firefox < 55.0, when the image
renderer attempts to paint non-displayable SVG elements. This results
in a potentially exploitable crash.
- CVE-2017-7787 (same-origin policy bypass)
Same-origin policy protections can be bypassed in Firefox < 55.0, on
pages with embedded iframes during page reloads, allowing the iframes
to access content on the top level page and leading to information
disclosure.
- CVE-2017-7788 (access restriction bypass)
A security issue has been found in Firefox < 55.0. When an iframe has a
sandbox attribute and its content is specified using srcdoc, that
content does not inherit the containing page's Content Security Policy
(CSP) as it should unless the sandbox attribute included allow-same-origin.
- CVE-2017-7789 (access restriction bypass)
A security issue has been found in Firefox < 55.0. If a server sends
two Strict-Transport-Security (STS) headers for a single connection,
they will be rejected as invalid and HTTP Strict Transport Security
(HSTS) will not be enabled for the connection.
- CVE-2017-7791 (content spoofing)
A content spoofing issue has been found in Firefox < 55.0. On pages
containing an iframe, the data: protocol can be used to create a modal
alert that will render over arbitrary domains following page
navigation, spoofing of the origin of the modal alert from the iframe
content.
- CVE-2017-7792 (arbitrary code execution)
A buffer overflow has been found in Firefox < 55.0, when viewing a
certificate in the certificate manager if the certificate has an
extremely long object identifier (OID). This results in a potentially
exploitable crash.
- CVE-2017-7794 (sandbox escape)
A security issue has been found in Firefox < 55.0. On Linux systems, if
the content process is compromised, the sandbox broker will allow files
to be truncated even though the sandbox explicitly only has read access
to the local file system and no write permissions.
- CVE-2017-7797 (access restriction bypass)
A security issue has been found in Firefox <55.0. Response header name
interning does not have same-origin protections and these headers are
stored in a global registry. This allows stored header names to be
available cross-origin.
- CVE-2017-7798 (arbitrary code execution)
A XUL injection has been found in Firefox < 55.0, in the style editor
in devtools. The Developer Tools feature suffers from a XUL injection
vulnerability due to improper sanitization of the web page source code.
In the worst case, this could allow arbitrary code execution when
opening a malicious page with the style editor tool.
- CVE-2017-7799 (cross-site scripting)
A security issue has been found in Firefox < 55.0. JavaScript in the
about:webrtc page is not sanitized properly being being assigned to
innerHTML. Data on this page is supplied by WebRTC usage and is not
under third-party control, making this difficult to exploit, but the
vulnerability could possibly be used for a cross-site scripting (XSS)
attack.
- CVE-2017-7800 (arbitrary code execution)
A use-after-free issue has been found in Firefox < 55.0, in WebSockets,
when the object holding the connection is freed before the
disconnection operation is finished. This results in an exploitable
crash.
- CVE-2017-7801 (arbitrary code execution)
A use-after-free issue has been found in Firefox < 55.0, while re-computing layout for a marquee element during window resizing where the
updated style object is freed while still in use. This results in a
potentially exploitable crash.
- CVE-2017-7802 (arbitrary code execution)
A use-after-free vulnerability has been found in Firefox < 55.0, when
manipulating the DOM during the resize event of an image element. If
these elements have been freed due to a lack of strong references, a
potentially exploitable crash may occur when the freed elements are
accessed.
- CVE-2017-7803 (access restriction bypass)
A security issue has been found in Firefox < 55.0. When a page’s
content security policy (CSP) header contains a sandbox directive,
other directives are ignored. This results in the incorrect enforcement
of CSP.
- CVE-2017-7806 (arbitrary code execution)
A use-after-free vulnerability has been found in Firefox < 55.0, when
the layer manager is freed too early when rendering specific SVG
content, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash.
- CVE-2017-7807 (content spoofing)
A domain hijacking flaw has been found in Firefox < 55.0. A mechanism
that uses AppCache to hijack a URL in a domain using fallback by
serving the files from a sub-path on the domain. This has been
addressed by requiring fallback files be inside the manifest directory.
- CVE-2017-7808 (information disclosure)
A CSP information leak has been found in Firefox < 55.0. A content
security policy (CSP) frame-ancestors directive containing origins with
paths allows for comparisons against those paths instead of the origin.
This results in a cross-origin information leak of this path
information.
- CVE-2017-7809 (arbitrary code execution)
A use-after-free issue has been found in Firefox < 55.0, when an editor
DOM node is deleted prematurely during tree traversal while still bound
to the document. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
Resolution
Upgrade to 55.0-1.
# pacman -Syu "firefox>=55.0-1"
The problems have been fixed upstream in version 55.0.
