OVERVIEW
Mozilla have released Firefox Extended Support Release 60.4
with multiple security fixes. [1]
IMPACT
Mozilla advises that the following vulnerabilities have been addressed:
"# CVE-2018-17466: Buffer overflow and out-of-bounds read in ANGLE library with
TextureStorage11
Reporter: Omair
Impact: high
Description
A buffer overflow and out-of-bounds read can occur in TextureStorage11 within
the ANGLE graphics library, used for WebGL content. This results in a
potentially exploitable crash.
# CVE-2018-18492: Use-after-free with select element
Reporter: Nils
Impact: high
Description
A use-after-free vulnerability can occur after deleting a selection element due
to a weak reference to the select element in the options collection. This
results in a potentially exploitable crash.
# CVE-2018-18493: Buffer overflow in accelerated 2D canvas with Skia
Reporter: Atte Kettunen
Impact: high
Description
A buffer overflow can occur in the Skia library during buffer offset
calculations with hardware accelerated canvas 2D actions due to the use of
32-bit calculations instead of 64-bit. This results in a potentially
exploitable crash.
# CVE-2018-18494: Same-origin policy violation using location attribute and
performance.getEntries to steal cross-origin URLs
Reporter: James Lee of Kryptos Logic
Impact: high
Description
A same-origin policy violation allowing the theft of cross-origin URL entries
when using the Javascript location property to cause a redirection to another
site using performance.getEntries(). This is a same-origin policy violation and
could allow for data theft.
# CVE-2018-18498: Integer overflow when calculating buffer sizes for images
Reporter: r
Impact: low
Description
A potential vulnerability leading to an integer overflow can occur during
buffer size calculations for images when a raw value is used instead of the
checked value. This leads to a possible out-of-bounds write.
# CVE-2018-12405: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 64 and Firefox ESR 60.4
Reporter: Mozilla developers and community
Impact: critical
Description
Mozilla developers and community members Christian Holler, Diego Calleja,
Andrew McCreight, Jon Coppeard, Natalia Csoregi, Nicolas B. Pierron, and Tyson
Smith reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 63 and Firefox ESR 60.3.
Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that
with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code."

MITIGATION
Mozilla advises updating Firefox Extended Support Release
to version 60.4 to address these vulnerabilities. [1]
