Package(s):firefox thunderbird seamonkey CVE #(s):CVE-2013-1720 CVE-2013-1721 CVE-2013-1724 CVE-2013-1728 CVE-2013-1738
Created:September 18, 2013 Updated:September 27, 2013
Description: From the CVE entries:

The nsHtml5TreeBuilder::resetTheInsertionMode function in the HTML5 Tree Builder in Mozilla Firefox before 24.0, Thunderbird before 24.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.21 does not properly maintain the state of the insertion-mode stack for template elements, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) by triggering use of this stack in its empty state. (CVE-2013-1720)

Integer overflow in the drawLineLoop function in the libGLESv2 library in Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine (ANGLE), as used in Mozilla Firefox before 24.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.21, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site. (CVE-2013-1721)

Use-after-free vulnerability in the mozilla::dom::HTMLFormElement::IsDefaultSubmitElement function in Mozilla Firefox before 24.0, Thunderbird before 24.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.21 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via vectors involving a destroyed SELECT element. (CVE-2013-1724)

The IonMonkey JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox before 24.0, Thunderbird before 24.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.21, when Valgrind mode is used, does not properly initialize memory, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2013-1728)

Use-after-free vulnerability in the JS_GetGlobalForScopeChain function in Mozilla Firefox before 24.0, Thunderbird before 24.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.21 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by leveraging incorrect garbage collection in situations involving default compartments and frame-chain restoration. (CVE-2013-1738)
