USN-1681-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. Due to an upstream regression, Firefox suffered from instabilities when accessing some websites. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Christoph Diehl, Christian Holler, Mats Palmgren, Chiaki Ishikawa, Bill Gianopoulos, Benoit Jacob, Gary Kwong, Robert O'Callahan, Jesse Ruderman, and Julian Seward discovered multiple memory safety issues affecting Firefox. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could possibly exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2013-0769, CVE-2013-0749, CVE-2013-0770)

Abhishek Arya discovered several user-after-free and buffer overflows in Firefox. An attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2013-0760, CVE-2013-0761, CVE-2013-0762, CVE-2013-0763, CVE-2013-0766, CVE-2013-0767, CVE-2013-0771, CVE-2012-5829)

A stack buffer was discovered in Firefox. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could possibly exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2013-0768)

Masato Kinugawa discovered that Firefox did not always properly display URL values in the address bar. A remote attacker could exploit this to conduct URL spoofing and phishing attacks. (CVE-2013-0759)

Atte Kettunen discovered that Firefox did not properly handle HTML tables with a large number of columns and column groups. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2013-0744)

Jerry Baker discovered that Firefox did not always properly handle threading when performing downloads over SSL connections. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash. (CVE-2013-0764)

Olli Pettay and Boris Zbarsky discovered flaws in the Javacript engine of Firefox. An attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2013-0745, CVE-2013-0746)

Jesse Ruderman discovered a flaw in the way Firefox handled plugins. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, a remote attacker could exploit this to bypass security protections to conduct clickjacking attacks.
(CVE-2013-0747)

Jesse Ruderman discovered an information leak in Firefox. An attacker could exploit this to reveal memory address layout which could help in bypassing ASLR protections.
(CVE-2013-0748)

An integer overflow was discovered in the JavaScript engine, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could possibly exploit this to execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2013-0750)

Sviatoslav Chagaev discovered that Firefox did not properly handle XBL files with multiple XML bindings with SVG content. An attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2013-0752)

Mariusz Mlynski discovered two flaws to gain access to privileged chrome functions. An attacker could possibly exploit this to execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2013-0757, CVE-2013-0758)

Several use-after-free issues were discovered in Firefox. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could possibly exploit this to execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2013-0753, CVE-2013-0754, CVE-2013-0755, CVE-2013-0756)

Two intermediate CA certificates were mis-issued by the TURKTRUST certificate authority. If a remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to view sensitive information. (CVE-2013-0743).

Mozilla Firefox is updated to the 10.0.12ESR version.

This is a roll-up update for LTSS.

It fixes a lot of security issues and bugs. 10.0.12ESR fixes specifically :

MFSA 2013-01: 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.

Christoph Diehl, Christian Holler, Mats Palmgren, and Chiaki Ishikawa reported memory safety problems and crashes that affect Firefox ESR 10, Firefox ESR 17, and Firefox 17.
(CVE-2013-0769)

Bill Gianopoulos, Benoit Jacob, Christoph Diehl, Christian Holler, Gary Kwong, Robert O'Callahan, and Scoobidiver reported memory safety problems and crashes that affect Firefox ESR 17 and Firefox 17. (CVE-2013-0749)

Jesse Ruderman, Christian Holler, Julian Seward, and Scoobidiver reported memory safety problems and crashes that affect Firefox 17. (CVE-2013-0770)

MFSA 2013-02: Security researcher Abhishek Arya (Inferno) of the Google Chrome Security Team discovered a series critically rated of use-after-free, out of bounds read, and buffer overflow issues using the Address Sanitizer tool in shipped software. These issues are potentially exploitable, allowing for remote code execution. We would also like to thank Abhishek for reporting three additional user-after-free and out of bounds read flaws introduced during Firefox development that were fixed before general release.

The following issue has been fixed in Firefox 18 :

   - Global-buffer-overflow in     CharDistributionAnalysis::HandleOneChar (CVE-2013-0760)

    The following issues has been fixed in Firefox 18, ESR     17.0.1, and ESR 10.0.12 :

   - Heap-use-after-free in imgRequest::OnStopFrame     (CVE-2013-0762)
  - Heap-use-after-free in ~nsHTMLEditRules (CVE-2013-0766)
  - Out of bounds read in     nsSVGPathElement::GetPathLengthScale (CVE-2013-0763)
  - Heap-buffer-overflow in     gfxTextRun::ShrinkToLigatureBoundaries (CVE-2013-0771)

    The following issue has been fixed in Firefox 18 and in     the earlier ESR 10.0.11 release :

   - Heap-buffer-overflow in nsWindow::OnExposeEvent     (CVE-2012-5829) MFSA 2013-03: Security researcher     miaubiz used the Address Sanitizer tool to discover a     buffer overflow in Canvas when specific bad height and     width values were given through HTML. This could lead to     a potentially exploitable crash. (CVE-2013-0768)

    Miaubiz also found a potentially exploitable crash when     2D and 3D content was mixed which was introduced during     Firefox development and fixed before general release.

    MFSA 2013-04: Security researcher Masato Kinugawa found     a flaw in which the displayed URL values within the     addressbar can be spoofed by a page during loading. This     allows for phishing attacks where a malicious page can     spoof the identify of another site. (CVE-2013-0759)

    MFSA 2013-05: Using the Address Sanitizer tool, security     researcher Atte Kettunen from OUSPG discovered that the     combination of large numbers of columns and column     groups in a table could cause the array containing the     columns during rendering to overwrite itself. This can     lead to a user-after-free causing a potentially     exploitable crash. (CVE-2013-0744)

    MFSA 2013-06: Mozilla developer Wesley Johnston reported     that when there are two or more iframes on the same HTML     page, an iframe is able to see the touch events and     their targets that occur within the other iframes on the     page. If the iframes are from the same origin, they can     also access the properties and methods of the targets of     other iframes but same-origin policy (SOP) restricts     access across domains. This allows for information     leakage and possibilities for cross-site scripting (XSS)     if another vulnerability can be used to get around SOP     restrictions. (CVE-2013-0751)

    MFSA 2013-07: Mozilla community member Jerry Baker     reported a crashing issue found through Thunderbird when     downloading messages over a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)     connection. This was caused by a bug in the networking     code assuming that secure connections were entirely     handled on the socket transport thread when they can     occur on a variety of threads. The resulting crash was     potentially exploitable. (CVE-2013-0764)

    MFSA 2013-08: Mozilla developer Olli Pettay discovered     that the AutoWrapperChanger class fails to keep some     JavaScript objects alive during garbage collection. This     can lead to an exploitable crash allowing for arbitrary     code execution. (CVE-2013-0745)

    MFSA 2013-09: Mozilla developer Boris Zbarsky reported     reported a problem where jsval-returning quickstubs fail     to wrap their return values, causing a compartment     mismatch. This mismatch can cause garbage collection to     occur incorrectly and lead to a potentially exploitable     crash. (CVE-2013-0746)

    MFSA 2013-10: Mozilla security researcher Jesse Ruderman     reported that events in the plugin handler can be     manipulated by web content to bypass same-origin policy     (SOP) restrictions. This can allow for clickjacking on     malicious web pages. (CVE-2013-0747)

    MFSA 2013-11: Mozilla security researcher Jesse Ruderman     discovered that using the toString function of XBL     objects can lead to inappropriate information leakage by     revealing the address space layout instead of just the     ID of the object. This layout information could     potentially be used to bypass ASLR and other security     protections. (CVE-2013-0748)

    MFSA 2013-12: Security researcher pa_kt reported a flaw     via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative that an integer     overflow is possible when calculating the length for a     JavaScript string concatenation, which is then used for     memory allocation. This results in a buffer overflow,     leading to a potentially exploitable memory corruption.
    (CVE-2013-0750)

    MFSA 2013-13: Security researcher Sviatoslav Chagaev     reported that when using an XBL file containing multiple     XML bindings with SVG content, a memory corruption can     occur. In concern with remote XUL, this can lead to an     exploitable crash. (CVE-2013-0752)

    MFSA 2013-14: Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski     reported that it is possible to change the prototype of     an object and bypass Chrome Object Wrappers (COW) to     gain access to chrome privileged functions. This could     allow for arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-0757)

    MFSA 2013-15: Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski     reported that it is possible to open a chrome privileged     web page through plugin objects through interaction with     SVG elements. This could allow for arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2013-0758)

    MFSA 2013-16: Security researcher regenrecht reported,     via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative, a use-after-free     in XMLSerializer by the exposing of serializeToStream to     web content. This can lead to arbitrary code execution     when exploited. (CVE-2013-0753)

    MFSA 2013-17: Security researcher regenrecht reported,     via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative, a use-after-free     within the ListenerManager when garbage collection is     forced after data in listener objects have been     allocated in some circumstances. This results in a     use-after-free which can lead to arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2013-0754)

    MFSA 2013-18: Security researcher regenrecht reported,     via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative, a use-after-free     using the domDoc pointer within Vibrate library. This     can lead to arbitrary code execution when exploited.
    (CVE-2013-0755)

    MFSA 2013-19: Security researcher regenrecht reported,     via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative, a garbage     collection flaw in JavaScript Proxy objects. This can     lead to a use-after-free leading to arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2013-0756)

    MFSA 2013-20: Google reported to Mozilla that TURKTRUST,     a certificate authority in Mozilla's root program, had     mis-issued two intermediate certificates to customers.
    The issue was not specific to Firefox but there was     evidence that one of the certificates was used for     man-in-the-middle (MITM) traffic management of domain     names that the customer did not legitimately own or     control. This issue was resolved by revoking the trust     for these specific mis-issued certificates.
    (CVE-2013-0743)
