Publication date: 17 Nov 2016
URL: http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2016-0379.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 5
CVE: CVE-2016-5290,
     CVE-2016-5291,
     CVE-2016-5296,
     CVE-2016-5297,

     CVE-2016-9066,
     CVE-2016-9074

Description:
Multiple 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-2016-5296, CVE-2016-5297, CVE-2016-9066,
CVE-2016-5291, CVE-2016-5290).

A flaw was found in the way Add-on update process was handled by Firefox.
A Man-in-the-Middle attacker could use this flaw to install a malicious
signed add-on update (CVE-2016-9064).

An existing mitigation of timing side-channel attacks in NSS before 3.26.1
is insufficient in some circumstances (CVE-2016-9074).
