Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-145

Posted Aug 29, 2012

Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2012-145 - Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Security researcher Abhishek Arya of Google Chrome Security Team discovered a series of use-after-free issues using the Address Sanitizer tool. Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski reported that it is possible to shadow the location object using Object.defineProperty. This could be used to confuse the current location to plugins, allowing for possible cross-site scripting attacks. Various other issues have also been addressed.
