    descriptionHenrik Skupin, Jesse Ruderman, Christian Holler, Soroush Dalili and others discovered several memory corruption flaws in Firefox. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted web page, a remote attacker could cause Firefox to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program. (CVE-2012-3982, CVE-2012-3983, CVE-2012-3988, CVE-2012-3989) David Bloom and Jordi Chancel discovered that Firefox did not always properly handle the <select> element. A remote attacker could exploit this to conduct URL spoofing and clickjacking attacks. (CVE-2012-3984) Collin Jackson discovered that Firefox did not properly follow the HTML5 specification for document.domain behavior. A remote attacker could exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via JavaScript execution. (CVE-2012-3985) Johnny Stenback discovered that Firefox did not properly perform security checks on test methods for DOMWindowUtils. (CVE-2012-3986) Alice White discovered that the security checks for GetProperty could be bypassed when using JSAPI. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted web page, a remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program. (CVE-2012-3991) Mariusz Mlynski discovered a history state error in Firefox. A remote attacker could exploit this to spoof the location property to inject script or intercept posted data. (CVE-2012-3992) Mariusz Mlynski and others discovered several flaws in Firefox that allowed a remote attacker to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2012-3993, CVE-2012-3994, CVE-2012-4184) Abhishek Arya, Atte Kettunen and others discovered several memory flaws in Firefox when using the Address Sanitizer tool.

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201301-01 (Mozilla Products: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, NSS, GNU IceCat, and XULRunner. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact : A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web page or email, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks, obtain sensitive information, bypass restrictions and protection mechanisms, force file downloads, conduct XML injection attacks, conduct XSS attacks, bypass the Same Origin Policy, spoof URL&rsquo;s for phishing attacks, trigger a vertical scroll, spoof the location bar, spoof an SSL indicator, modify the browser&rsquo;s font, conduct clickjacking attacks, or have other unspecified impact. A local attacker could gain escalated privileges, obtain sensitive information, or replace an arbitrary downloaded file. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
