    descriptionThe version of Mozilla Firefox installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 51.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - Mozilla developers and community members Christian Holler, Gary Kwong, Andre Bargull, Jan de Mooij, Tom Schuster, and Oriol reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 50.1 and Firefox ESR 45.6. 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-2017-5373) - Mozilla developers and community members Gary Kwong, Olli Pettay, Tooru Fujisawa, Carsten Book, Andrew McCreight, Chris Pearce, Ronald Crane, Jan de Mooij, Julian Seward, Nicolas Pierron, Randell Jesup, Esther Monchari, Honza Bambas, and Philipp reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 50.1. 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-2017-5374) - JIT code allocation can allow for a bypass of ASLR and DEP protections leading to potential memory corruption attacks. (CVE-2017-5375) - Use-after-free while manipulating XSL in XSLT documents (CVE-2017-5376) - A memory corruption vulnerability in Skia that can occur when using transforms to make gradients, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash.

        (CVE-2017-5373)
    
      - Mozilla developers and community members Gary Kwong,
        Olli Pettay, Tooru Fujisawa, Carsten Book, Andrew
        McCreight, Chris Pearce, Ronald Crane, Jan de Mooij,
        Julian Seward, Nicolas Pierron, Randell Jesup, Esther
        Monchari, Honza Bambas, and Philipp reported memory
        safety bugs present in Firefox 50.1. 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-2017-5374)
    
      - JIT code allocation can allow for a bypass of ASLR and
        DEP protections leading to potential memory corruption
        attacks. (CVE-2017-5375)
    
      - Use-after-free while manipulating XSL in XSLT documents
        (CVE-2017-5376)
    
      - A memory corruption vulnerability in Skia that can
        occur when using transforms to make gradients,
        resulting in a potentially exploitable crash.
        (CVE-2017-5377)
    
      - Hashed codes of JavaScript objects are shared between
        pages. This allows for pointer leaks because an object's
        address can be discovered through hash codes, and also
        allows for data leakage of an object's content using
        these hash codes. (CVE-2017-5378)
    
      - Use-after-free vulnerability in Web Animations when
        interacting with cycle collection found through
        fuzzing. (CVE-2017-5379)
    
      - A potential use-after-free found through fuzzing during
        DOM manipulation of SVG content. (CVE-2017-5380)
    
      - The 'export' function in the Certificate Viewer can
        force local filesystem navigation when the 'common
        name' in a certificate contains slashes, allowing
        certificate content to be saved in unsafe locations
        with an arbitrary filename. (CVE-2017-5381)
    
      - Feed preview for RSS feeds can be used to capture
        errors and exceptions generated by privileged content,
        allowing for the exposure of internal information not
        meant to be seen by web content. (CVE-2017-5382)
    
      - URLs containing certain unicode glyphs for alternative
        hyphens and quotes do not properly trigger punycode
        display, allowing for domain name spoofing attacks in
        the location bar. (CVE-2017-5383)
    
      - Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) files can specify a JavaScript
        function called for all URL requests with the full URL
        path which exposes more information than would be sent
        to the proxy itself in the case of HTTPS. Normally the
        Proxy Auto-Config file is specified by the user or
        machine owner and presumed to be non-malicious, but if
        a user has enabled Web Proxy Auto Detect (WPAD) this
        file can be served remotely. (CVE-2017-5384)
    
      - Data sent with in multipart channels, such as the
        multipart/x-mixed-replace MIME type, will ignore the
        referrer-policy response header, leading to potential
        information disclosure for sites using this header.
        (CVE-2017-5385)
    
      - WebExtension scripts can use the 'data:' protocol to
        affect pages loaded by other web extensions using this
        protocol, leading to potential data disclosure or
        privilege escalation in affected extensions.
        (CVE-2017-5386)
    
      - The existence of a specifically requested local file
        can be found due to the double firing of the 'onerror'
        when the 'source' attribute on a <track> tag refers to
        a file that does not exist if the source page is loaded
        locally. (CVE-2017-5387)
    
      - A STUN server in conjunction with a large number of
        'webkitRTCPeerConnection' objects can be used to send
        large STUN packets in a short period of time due to a
        lack of rate limiting being applied on e10s systems,
        allowing for a denial of service attack. (CVE-2017-5388)
    
      - WebExtensions could use the 'mozAddonManager' API by
        modifying the CSP headers on sites with the appropriate
        permissions and then using host requests to redirect
        script loads to a malicious site. This allows a
        malicious extension to then install additional
        extensions without explicit user permission.
        (CVE-2017-5389)
    
      - The JSON viewer in the Developer Tools uses insecure
        methods to create a communication channel for copying
        and viewing JSON or HTTP headers data, allowing for
        potential privilege escalation. (CVE-2017-5390)
    
      - Special 'about:' pages used by web content, such as RSS
        feeds, can load privileged 'about:' pages in an iframe.
        If a content-injection bug were found in one of those
        pages this could allow for potential privilege
        escalation. (CVE-2017-5391)
    
      - The 'mozAddonManager' allows for the installation of
        extensions from the CDN for addons.mozilla.org, a
        publicly accessible site. This could allow malicious
        extensions to install additional extensions from the CDN
        in combination with an XSS attack on Mozilla AMO sites.
        (CVE-2017-5393)
    
      - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Media Decoder
        when working with media files when some events are
        fired after the media elements are freed from memory.
        (CVE-2017-5396)

    enforce mode. This update fixes the problem.
    
    We apologize for the inconvenience.
    
    Multiple memory safety issues were discovered in Firefox. If a user
    were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker
    could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via
    application crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5373,
    CVE-2017-5374)
    
    JIT code allocation can allow a bypass of ASLR protections
    in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening
    a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially
    exploit this to cause a denial of service via application
    crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5375)
    
    Nicolas Gregoire discovered a use-after-free when
    manipulating XSL in XSLT documents in some circumstances. If
    a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted
    website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause
    a denial of service via application crash, or execute
    arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5376)
    
    Atte Kettunen discovered a memory corruption issue in Skia
    in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening
    a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially
    exploit this to cause a denial of service via application
    crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5377)
    
    Jann Horn discovered that an object's address could be
    discovered through hashed codes of JavaScript objects shared
    between pages. If a user were tricked in to opening a
    specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially
    exploit this to obtain sensitive information.
    (CVE-2017-5378)
    
    A use-after-free was discovered in Web Animations in some
    circumstances. If a user were tricked in to opening a
    specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially
    exploit this to cause a denial of service via application
    crash, or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5379)
    
    A use-after-free was discovered during DOM manipulation of
    SVG content in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in
    to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
    potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via
    application crash, or execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-5380)
    
    Jann Horn discovered that the 'export' function in the
    Certificate Viewer can force local filesystem navigation
    when the Common Name contains slashes. If a user were
    tricked in to exporting a specially crafted certificate, an
    attacker could potentially exploit this to save content with
    arbitrary filenames in unsafe locations. (CVE-2017-5381)
    
    Jerri Rice discovered that the Feed preview for RSS feeds
    can be used to capture errors and exceptions generated by
    privileged content. An attacker could potentially exploit
    this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2017-5382)
    
    Armin Razmjou discovered that certain unicode glyphs do not
    trigger punycode display. An attacker could potentially
    exploit this to spoof the URL bar contents. (CVE-2017-5383)
    
    Paul Stone and Alex Chapman discovered that the full URL
    path is exposed to JavaScript functions specified by Proxy
    Auto-Config (PAC) files. If a user has enabled Web Proxy
    Auto Detect (WPAD), an attacker could potentially exploit
    this to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2017-5384)
    
    Muneaki Nishimura discovered that data sent in multipart
    channels will ignore the Referrer-Policy response headers.
    An attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain
    sensitive information. (CVE-2017-5385)
    
    Muneaki Nishimura discovered that WebExtensions can affect
    other extensions using the data: protocol. If a user were
    tricked in to installing a specially crafted addon, an
    attacker could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive
    information or gain additional privileges. (CVE-2017-5386)
    
    Mustafa Hasan discovered that the existence of local files
    can be determined using the <track> element. An attacker
    could potentially exploit this to obtain sensitive
    information. (CVE-2017-5387)
    
    Cullen Jennings discovered that WebRTC can be used to
    generate large amounts of UDP traffic. An attacker could
    potentially exploit this to conduct Distributed
    Denial-of-Service (DDOS) attacks. (CVE-2017-5388)
    
    Kris Maglione discovered that WebExtensions can use the
    mozAddonManager API by modifying the CSP headers on sites
    with the appropriate permissions and then using host
    requests to redirect script loads to a malicious site. If a
    user were tricked in to installing a specially crafted
    addon, an attacker could potentially exploit this to install
    additional addons without user permission. (CVE-2017-5389)
    
    Jerri Rice discovered insecure communication methods in the
    Dev Tools JSON Viewer. An attacker could potentially exploit
    this to gain additional privileges. (CVE-2017-5390)
    
    Jerri Rice discovered that about: pages used by content can
    load privileged about: pages in iframes. An attacker could
    potentially exploit this to gain additional privileges, in
    combination with a content-injection bug in one of those
    about: pages. (CVE-2017-5391)
    
    Stuart Colville discovered that mozAddonManager allows for
    the installation of extensions from the CDN for
    addons.mozilla.org, a publicly accessible site. If a user
    were tricked in to installing a specially crafted addon, an
    attacker could potentially exploit this, in combination with
    a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack on Mozilla's AMO sites,
    to install additional addons. (CVE-2017-5393)
    
    Filipe Gomes discovered a use-after-free in the media
    decoder in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in to
    opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
    potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via
    application crash, or execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2017-5396).
