Vulnerability Insight:
Mozilla Firefox is an open source web
browser. XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox.
Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web
page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
Firefox. (CVE-2015-2724, CVE-2015-2725, CVE-2015-2722, CVE-2015-2727,
CVE-2015-2728, CVE-2015-2729, CVE-2015-2731, CVE-2015-2733, CVE-2015-2734,
CVE-2015-2735, CVE-2015-2736, CVE-2015-2737, CVE-2015-2738, CVE-2015-2739,
CVE-2015-2740)
It was found that Firefox skipped key-pinning checks when handling an error
that could be overridden by the user (for example an expired certificate
error). This flaw allowed a user to override a pinned certificate, which is
an action the user should not be able to perform. (CVE-2015-2741)
A flaw was discovered in Mozilla's PDF.js PDF file viewer. When combined
with another vulnerability, it could allow execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2015-2743)
Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting these issues.
