Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Security researcher Mario Gomes and research firm Code Audit Labs reported a mechanism to short-circuit page loads through drag and drop to the address bar by canceling the page load. This causes the address of the previously site entered to be displayed in the address bar instead of the currently loaded page. This could lead to potential phishing attacks on users. Google security researcher Abhishek Arya used the Address Sanitizer tool to uncover four issues: two use-after-free problems, one out of bounds read bug, and a bad cast. Various other issues were also addressed.
