An update that fixes four vulnerabilities is now available.

It includes one version update.

 

Description:

 

 

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)

* CVE-2015-0822

 

* CVE-2015-0827
