CVEs 29
  • CVE-2017-7753: Out-of-bounds read with cached style data and pseudo-elements (high)
    An out-of-bounds read occurs when applying style rules to pseudo-elements, such as ::first-line, using cached style data.

  • CVE-2017-7779: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 55 and Firefox ESR 52.3 (critical)
    Mozilla developers and community members Masayuki Nakano, Gary Kwong, Ronald Crane, Andrew McCreight, Tyson Smith, Bevis Tseng, Christian Holler, Bryce Van Dyk, Dragana Damjanovic, Kartikaya Gupta, Philipp, Tristan Bourvon, and Andi-Bogdan Postelnicu reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 54 and Firefox ESR 52.2. 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: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 55 (critical)
    Mozilla developers and community members Gary Kwong, Christian Holler, André Bargull, Bob Clary, Carsten Book, Emilio Cobos Álvarez, Masayuki Nakano, Sebastian Hengst, Franziskus Kiefer, Tyson Smith, and Ronald Crane reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 54. 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: Elliptic curve point addition error when using mixed Jacobian-affine coordinates (moderate)
    An error occurs in the elliptic curve point addition algorithm that uses mixed Jacobian-affine coordinates where it can yield a result <code>POINT_AT_INFINITY</code> 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-2017-7782: WindowsDllDetourPatcher allocates memory without DEP protections (moderate)
    An error in the <code>WindowsDllDetourPatcher</code> where a RWX ("Read/Write/Execute") 4k block is allocated but never protected, violating DEP protections.
    Note: This attack only affects Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are not affected.

  • CVE-2017-7783: DOS attack through long username in URL (low)
    If a long user name is used in a username/password combination in a site URL (such as <code> http://UserName:Password@example.com</code>), the resulting modal prompt will hang in a non-responsive state or crash, causing a denial of service.

  • CVE-2017-7784: Use-after-free with image observers (high)
    A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when reading an image observer during frame reconstruction after the observer has been freed. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.

  • CVE-2017-7785: Buffer overflow manipulating ARIA attributes in DOM (high)
    A buffer overflow can occur when manipulating Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) attributes within the DOM. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.

  • CVE-2017-7786: Buffer overflow while painting non-displayable SVG (high)
    A buffer overflow can occur 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 with iframes through page reloads (high)
    Same-origin policy protections can be bypassed on pages with embedded iframes during page reloads, allowing the iframes to access content on the top level page, leading to information disclosure.

  • CVE-2017-7788: Sandboxed about:srcdoc iframes do not inherit CSP directives (low)
    When an <code>iframe</code> has a <code>sandbox</code> attribute and its content is specified using <code>srcdoc</code>, that content does not inherit the containing page's Content Security Policy (CSP) as it should unless the sandbox attribute included <code>allow-same-origin</code>.

  • CVE-2017-7789: Failure to enable HSTS when two STS headers are sent for a connection (low)
    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-2017-7790: Windows crash reporter reads extra memory for some non-null-terminated registry values (low)
    On Windows systems, if non-null-terminated strings are copied into the crash reporter for some specific registry keys, stack memory data can be copied until a null is found. This can potentially contain private data from the local system.
    Note: This attack only affects Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are not affected.

  • CVE-2017-7791: Spoofing following page navigation with data: protocol and modal alerts (moderate)
    On pages containing an iframe, the <code>data:</code> 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: Buffer overflow viewing certificates with an extremely long OID (high)
    A buffer overflow will occur 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: Linux file truncation via sandbox broker (moderate)
    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.
    Note: This attack only affects the Linux operating system. Other operating systems are not affected.

  • CVE-2017-7796: Windows updater can delete any file named update.log (low)
    On Windows systems, the logger run by the Windows updater deletes the file "update.log" before it runs in order to write a new log of that name. The path to this file is supplied at the command line to the updater and could be used in concert with another local exploit to delete a different file named "update.log" instead of the one intended.
    Note: This attack only affects Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are not affected.

  • CVE-2017-7797: Response header name interning leaks across origins (low)
    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: XUL injection in the style editor in devtools (critical)
    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: Self-XSS XUL injection in about:webrtc (moderate)
    JavaScript in the <code>about:webrtc</code> page is not sanitized properly being assigned to <code>innerHTML</code>. 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: Use-after-free in WebSockets during disconnection (critical)
    A use-after-free vulnerability can occur 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: Use-after-free with marquee during window resizing (critical)
    A use-after-free vulnerability can occur while re-computing layout for a <code>marquee</code> 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: Use-after-free resizing image elements (high)
    A use-after-free vulnerability can occur 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: CSP containing 'sandbox' improperly applied (moderate)
    When a page’s content security policy (CSP) header contains a <code>sandbox</code> directive, other directives are ignored. This results in the incorrect enforcement of CSP.

  • CVE-2017-7804: Memory protection bypass through WindowsDllDetourPatcher (high)
    The destructor function for the <code>WindowsDllDetourPatcher</code> class can be re-purposed by malicious code in concert with another vulnerability to write arbitrary data to an attacker controlled location in memory. This can be used to bypass existing memory protections in this situation.
    Note: This attack only affects Windows operating systems. Other operating systems are not affected.

  • CVE-2017-7806: Use-after-free in layer manager with SVG (high)
    A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when the layer manager is freed too early when rendering specific SVG content, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash.

  • CVE-2017-7807: Domain hijacking through AppCache fallback (high)
    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: CSP information leak with frame-ancestors containing paths (moderate)
    A content security policy (CSP) <code>frame-ancestors</code> 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: Use-after-free while deleting attached editor DOM node (high)
    A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when an editor DOM node is deleted prematurely during tree traversal while still bound to the document. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.
