Security update for Mozilla Firefox
SUSE Security Update: Security update for Mozilla Firefox
MozillaFirefox has been updated to version 31.5.0 ESR to fix five security
issues.
These security issues have been fixed:
* CVE-2015-0836: Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser
engine in Mozilla Firefox before 31.5 allowed remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash)
or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors (bnc#917597).
* CVE-2015-0827: Heap-based buffer overflow in the
mozilla::gfx::CopyRect function in Mozilla Firefox before 31.5
allowed remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from
uninitialized process memory via a malformed SVG graphic
(bnc#917597).
* CVE-2015-0835: Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser
engine in Mozilla Firefox before 36.0 allowed remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash)
or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors (bnc#917597).
* CVE-2015-0831: Use-after-free vulnerability in the
mozilla::dom::IndexedDB::IDBObjectStore::CreateIndex function in
Mozilla Firefox before 31.5 allowed remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption)
via crafted content that is improperly handled during IndexedDB
index creation (bnc#917597).
* CVE-2015-0822: The Form Autocompletion feature in Mozilla Firefox
before 31.5 allowed remote attackers to read arbitrary files via
crafted JavaScript code (bnc#917597).
These non-security issues have been fixed:
* Reverted desktop file name back to MozillaFirefox.desktop
(bnc#916196, bnc#917100)
* Obsolete subpackages of firefox-gcc47 from SLE11-SP1/2, that caused
problems when upgrading to SLE11-SP3 (bnc#917300)
Security Issues:
* CVE-2015-0822
* CVE-2015-0827
* CVE-2015-0831
* CVE-2015-0836
