The SPICE Firefox plug-in (spice-xpi) 2.4, 2.3, 2.2, and possibly other versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to (1) plugin/nsScriptablePeer.cpp and (2) plugin/plugin.cpp, which trigger multiple uses of an uninitialized pointer.
Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.19 and 3.5.x before 3.5.8, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.3, when the XMLHttpRequestSpy module in the Firebug add-on is used, does not properly handle interaction between the XMLHttpRequestSpy object and chrome privileged objects, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript via a crafted HTTP response.
If a malicious attacker has used another vulnerability to gain full control over a content process, they may be able to replace the alternate data resources stored in the JavaScript Start-up Bytecode Cache (JSBC) for other JavaScript code. If the parent process then runs this replaced code, the executed script would be run with the parent process' privileges, escaping the sandbox on content processes. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 60.
The Network Security Services (NSS) library before 3.12.3, as used in Firefox; GnuTLS before 2.6.4 and 2.7.4; OpenSSL 0.9.8 through 0.9.8k; and other products support MD2 with X.509 certificates, which might allow remote attackers to spoof certificates by using MD2 design flaws to generate a hash collision in less than brute-force time. NOTE: the scope of this issue is currently limited because the amount of computation required is still large.
Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.6 and SeaMonkey do not block links to the (1) about:plugins and (2) about:config URIs from .desktop files, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and execute arbitrary code with chrome privileges via vectors involving the URL field in a Desktop Entry section of a .desktop file, related to representation of about: URIs as jar:file:// URIs. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-4582.
The SavedStacks class in the JavaScript implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 41.0, when the Debugger API is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (getSlotRef assertion failure and application exit) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site.
Use-after-free vulnerability in the AppendElements function in Mozilla Firefox before 37.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.6, and Thunderbird before 31.6 on Linux, when the Fluendo MP3 plugin for GStreamer is used, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via a crafted MP3 file.
Mozilla Firefox 3.x before 3.0.4 assigns chrome privileges to a file: URI when it is accessed in the same tab from a chrome or privileged about: page, which makes it easier for user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges via malicious code in a file that has already been saved on the local system.
Command line arguments could have been injected during Firefox invocation as a shell handler for certain unsupported file types. This required Firefox to be configured as the default handler for a given file type and for a file downloaded to be opened in a third party application that insufficiently sanitized URL data. In that situation, clicking a link in the third party application could have been used to retrieve and execute files whose location was supplied through command line arguments. Note: This issue only affects Windows operating systems and when Firefox is configured as the default handler for non-default filetypes. Other operating systems are unaffected. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 73 and Firefox < ESR68.5.
A race condition is present in the crash generation server used to generate data for the crash reporter. This issue can lead to a use-after-free in the main process, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash and a sandbox escape. *Note: this vulnerability only affects Windows. Other operating systems are unaffected.*. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 60.7, Firefox < 67, and Firefox ESR < 60.7.
The PLUGINSPAGE functionality in Mozilla Firefox before 1.5.0.4 allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute privileged code by tricking a user into installing missing plugins and selecting the "Manual Install" button, then using nested javascript: URLs. NOTE: the manual install button is used for downloading software from a remote web site, so this issue would not cross privilege boundaries if the user progresses to the point of installing malicious software from the attacker-controlled site.
Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.2, when designMode is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via certain Javascript that is not properly handled by the contentWindow.focus method in an iframe, which causes a reference to a deleted controller context object. NOTE: this was originally claimed to be a buffer overflow in (1) js320.dll and (2) xpcom_core.dll, but the vendor disputes this claim.
Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.2 and possibly other versions before 1.5.0.4, Netscape 8.1, 8.0.4, and 7.2, and K-Meleon 0.9.13 allows user-assisted remote attackers to open local files via a web page with an IMG element containing a SRC attribute with a non-image file:// URL, then tricking the user into selecting View Image for the broken image, as demonstrated using a .wma file to launch Windows Media Player, or by referencing an "alternate web page."
GUI display truncation vulnerability in Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.2, 1.0.6, and 1.0.7 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via an attachment with a filename containing a large number of spaces ending with a dangerous extension that is not displayed by Thunderbird, along with an inconsistent Content-Type header, which could be used to trick a user into downloading dangerous content by dragging or saving the attachment.
Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Thunderbird 1.5 if Javascript is enabled in mail, and SeaMonkey before 1.0 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the QueryInterface method of the built-in Location and Navigator objects, which leads to memory corruption.
Multiple integer overflows in Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Thunderbird 1.5 if Javascript is enabled in mail, and SeaMonkey before 1.0 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the (1) EscapeAttributeValue in jsxml.c for E4X, (2) nsSVGCairoSurface::Init in SVG, and (3) nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp in Canvas.
Firefox 1.0.3 and 1.0.4, and Netscape 8.0.2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking the user into using the "Set As Wallpaper" (in Firefox) or "Set as Background" (in Netscape) context menu on an image URL that is really a javascript: URL with an eval statement, aka "Firewalling."
Firefox 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Javascript in other domains by using an IFRAME and causing the browser to navigate to a previous javascript: URL, which can lead to arbitrary code execution when combined with CVE-2005-1477.
The install function in Firefox 1.0.3 allows remote web sites on the browser's whitelist, such as update.mozilla.org or addon.mozilla.org, to execute arbitrary Javascript with chrome privileges, leading to arbitrary code execution on the system when combined with vulnerabilities such as CVE-2005-1476, as demonstrated using a javascript: URL as the package icon and a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack on a vulnerable whitelist site.
FireFox 1.0.1 and Mozilla before 1.7.6 do not sufficiently address all attack vectors for loading chrome files and hijacking drag and drop events, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary XUL code by tricking a user into dragging a scrollbar, a variant of CVE-2005-0527, aka "Firescrolling 2."
Heap-based buffer overflow in GIF2.cpp in Firefox before 1.0.2, Mozilla before to 1.7.6, and Thunderbird before 1.0.2, and possibly other applications that use the same library, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a GIF image with a crafted Netscape extension 2 block and buffer size.
Firefox 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via plugins that load "privileged content" into frames, as demonstrated using certain XUL events when a user drags a scrollbar two times, aka "Firescrolling."
Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 may allow remote attackers to trick users into performing unexpected actions, including installing software, via signed scripts that request enhanced abilities using the enablePrivilege parameter, then modify the meaning of certain security-relevant dialog messages.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in jsonrpc.cgi in Bugzilla 3.5.x and 3.6.x before 3.6.8, 3.7.x and 4.0.x before 4.0.4, and 4.1.x and 4.2.x before 4.2rc2 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of arbitrary users for requests that use the JSON-RPC API.
As part of a winning Pwn2Own entry, a researcher demonstrated a sandbox escape by installing a malicious language pack and then opening a browser feature that used the compromised translation. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and Thunderbird < 60.8.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in xmlrpc.cgi in Bugzilla 4.0.2 through 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 through 4.2rc2, when mod_perl is used, allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of arbitrary users for requests that modify the product's installation via the XML-RPC API.
Under certain conditions, when checking the Resist Fingerprinting preference during device orientation checks, a race condition could have caused a use-after-free and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.3, Firefox ESR < 68.3, and Firefox < 71.
The privileged "chrome" UI code in Firefox before 1.0.3 and Mozilla Suite before 1.7.7 allows remote attackers to gain privileges by overriding certain properties or methods of DOM nodes, as demonstrated using multiple attacks involving the eval function or the Script object.
A malicious webpage could have triggered a use-after-free, memory corruption, and a potentially exploitable crash. *This bug could only be triggered when accessibility was enabled.*. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 78.12, Firefox ESR < 78.12, and Firefox < 90.
When Web Render components were destructed, a race condition could have caused undefined behavior, and we presume that with enough effort may have been exploitable to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 88.0.1 and Firefox for Android < 88.1.3.
The watch implementation in the JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox before 46.0, Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.8, and Firefox ESR 45.x before 45.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (generation-count overflow, out-of-bounds HashMap write access, and application crash) via a crafted web site.
Race condition in the get implementation in the ServiceWorkerManager class in the Service Worker subsystem in Mozilla Firefox before 46.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) via a crafted web site.
When Responsive Design Mode was enabled, it used references to objects that were previously freed. We presume that with enough effort this could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 78.10, Thunderbird < 78.10, and Firefox < 88.
Under certain conditions, when retrieving a document from a DocShell in the antitracking code, a race condition could cause a use-after-free condition and a potentially exploitable crash. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.3, Firefox ESR < 68.3, and Firefox < 71.
The gfxTextRun::SanitizeGlyphRuns function in gfx/thebes/src/gfxFont.cpp in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox 3.6 before 3.6.2 on Mac OS X, when the Core Text API is used, does not properly perform certain deletions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an HTML document containing invisible Unicode characters, as demonstrated by the U+FEFF, U+FFF9, U+FFFA, and U+FFFB characters.
Firefox 1.0 does not prevent the user from dragging an executable file to the desktop when it has an image/gif content type but has a dangerous extension such as .bat or .exe, which allows remote attackers to bypass the intended restriction and execute arbitrary commands via malformed GIF files that can still be parsed by the Windows batch file parser, aka "firedragging."
