NASL family MacOS X Local Security Checks NASL id MACOSX_FIREFOX_41_0_0.NASL description The version of Firefox installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 41. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities : - Multiple unspecified memory corruption issues exist due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit these issues to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4500) - Multiple unspecified memory corruption issues exist due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit these issues to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4501) - A flaw exists that allows scripted proxies to access the inner window. (CVE-2015-4502) - An out-of-bounds read error exists in the QCMS color management library that is triggered when manipulating an image with specific attributes in its ICC V4 profile. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2015-4504) - A buffer overflow condition exists in the libvpx component when parsing vp9 format video. A remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted vp9 format video, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-4506) - A flaw exists in the debugger API that is triggered when using the debugger with SavedStacks in JavaScript. An attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-4507) - A flaw exists in reader mode that allows an attacker to spoof the URL displayed in the address bar. (CVE-2015-4508) - A user-after-free error exists when manipulating HTML media elements on a page during script manipulation of the URI table of these elements. An attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-4509) - A use-after-free error exists when using a shared worker with IndexedDB due to a race condition with the worker. A remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted content, to cause a denial of service condition.
