MFSA 2015-29 / CVE-2015-0817: Security researcher ilxu1a reported,

through HP Zero Day Initiative's Pwn2Own contest, a flaw in Mozilla's

implementation of typed array bounds checking in JavaScript just-in-time

compilation (JIT) and its management of bounds checking for heap access.

This flaw can be leveraged into the reading and writing of memory allowing

for arbitrary code execution on the local system.

MFSA 2015-28 / CVE-2015-0818: Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski

reported, through HP Zero Day Initiative's Pwn2Own contest, a method to

run arbitrary scripts in a privileged context. This bypassed the

same-origin policy protections by using a flaw in the processing of SVG

format content navigation.
