Security issues were identified and fixed in mozilla firefox: Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code (CVE-2012-1971). Security researcher Abhishek Arya (Inferno) of Google Chrome Security Team discovered a series of use-after-free issues using the Address Sanitizer tool. Many of these issues are potentially exploitable, allowing for remote code execution (CVE-2012-1972, CVE-2012-1973, CVE-2012-1974, CVE-2012-1975, CVE-2012-1976, CVE-2012-3956, CVE-2012-3957, CVE-2012-3958, CVE-2012-3959, CVE-2012-3960, CVE-2012-3961, CVE-2012-3962, CVE-2012-3963, CVE-2012-3964). Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski reported that it is possible to shadow the location object using Object.defineProperty. This could be used to confuse the current location to plugins, allowing for possible cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks (CVE-2012-1956). Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski reported that when a page opens a new tab, a subsequent window can then be opened that can be navigated to about:newtab, a chrome privileged page. Once about:newtab is loaded, the special context can potentially be used to escalate privilege, allowing for arbitrary code execution on the local system in a maliciously crafted attack (CVE-2012-3965). Security researcher Frederic Hoguin reported two related issues with the decoding of bitmap (.BMP) format images embedded in icon (.ICO) format files. When processing a negative height header value for the bitmap image, a memory corruption can be induced, allowing an attacker to write random memory and cause a crash. This crash may be potentially exploitable (CVE-2012-3966). Description truncated, for more information please check the Reference URL
