A buffer overflow occurs when drawing and validating elements with the ANGLE graphics library, used for WebGL content, when working with the VertexBuffer11
module. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
A buffer overflow and out-of-bounds read can occur in TextureStorage11
within the ANGLE graphics library, used for WebGL content. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
A use-after-free vulnerability can occur after deleting a selection element due to a weak reference to the select
element in the options
collection. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
A buffer overflow can occur in the Skia library during buffer offset calculations with hardware accelerated canvas 2D actions due to the use of 32-bit calculations instead of 64-bit. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
A same-origin policy violation allowing the theft of cross-origin URL entries when using the Javascript location
property to cause a redirection to another site using performance.getEntries()
. This is a same-origin policy violation and could allow for data theft.
WebExtension content scripts can be loaded into about:
pages in some circumstances, in violation of the permissions granted to extensions. This could allow an extension to interfere with the loading and usage of these pages and use capabilities that were intended to be restricted from extensions.
When the RSS Feed preview about:feeds
page is framed within another page, it can be used in concert with scripted content for a clickjacking attack that confuses users into downloading and executing an executable file from a temporary directory.
Note: This issue only affects Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are not affected.
Limitations on the URIs allowed to WebExtensions by the browser.windows.create
API can be bypassed when a pipe in the URL field is used within the extension to load multiple pages as a single argument. This could allow a malicious WebExtension to opened privileged about:
or file:
locations.
A potential vulnerability leading to an integer overflow can occur during buffer size calculations for images when a raw value is used instead of the checked value. This can lead to an out-of-bounds write.
The about:crashcontent
and about:crashparent
pages can be triggered by web content. These pages are used to crash the loaded page or the browser for test purposes. This issue allows for a non-persistent denial of service (DOS) attack by a malicious site which links to these pages.
Mozilla developers and community members Alex Gaynor, André Bargull, Boris Zbarsky, Christian Holler, Jan de Mooij, Jason Kratzer, Philipp, Ronald Crane, Natalia Csoregi, and Paul Theriault reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 63. 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.
