Mozilla developers and community members Andreea Pavel, Christian Holler, Honza Bambas, Jason Kratzer, and Jeff Gilbert reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 67 and Firefox ESR 60.7. 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.

ASA-2019-00436 – Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird: HTML parsing error can contribute to content XSS
Due to an error while parsing page content, it is possible for properly sanitized user input to be misinterpreted and lead to XSS hazards on web sites in certain circumstances.
ASA-2019-00435 – Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird: Empty or malformed p256-ECDH public keys may trigger a segmentation fault
Empty or malformed p256-ECDH public keys may trigger a segmentation fault due values being improperly sanitized before being copied into memory and used.
ASA-2019-00433 – Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird: Use-after-free with HTTP/2 cached stream
A use-after-free vulnerability can occur in HTTP/2 when a cached HTTP/2 stream is closed while still in use, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash.
ASA-2019-00432 – Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird: Cross-origin POST requests can be made with NPAPI plugins by following 308 redirects
POST requests made by NPAPI plugins, such as Flash, that receive a status 308 redirect response can bypass CORS requirements. This can allow an attacker to perform Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.
ASA-2019-00431 – Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird: Script injection within domain through inner window reuse
When an inner window is reused, it does not consider the use of document.domain for cross-origin protections. If pages on different subdomains ever cooperatively use document.domain, then either page can abuse this to inject script into arbitrary pages on the other subdomain, even those that did not use document.domain to relax their origin security.
ASA-2019-00430 – Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird: Sandbox escape via installation of malicious language pack
As part of his winning Pwn2Own entry, Niklas Baumstark demonstrated a sandbox escape by installing a malicious language pack and then opening a browser feature that used the compromised translation.
ASA-2019-00356 – Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird: Type confusion in Array.pop
A type confusion vulnerability can occur when manipulating JavaScript objects due to issues in Array.pop. This can allow for an exploitable crash. We are aware of targeted attacks in the wild abusing this flaw.
