Ubuntu Security Notice 1924-1 - Jeff Gilbert, Henrik Skupin, Ben Turner, Christian Holler, Andrew McCreight, Gary Kwong, Jan Varga and Jesse Ruderman discovered multiple memory safety issues in Firefox. If the user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could possibly exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. A use-after-free bug was discovered when the DOM is modified during a SetBody mutation event. If the user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox.
