Title: | Mozilla Firefox Security Advisory (MFSA2016-77) - Linux |
Summary: | This host is missing a security update for Mozilla Firefox. |
Description: | Summary: This host is missing a security update for Mozilla Firefox. Vulnerability Insight: Buffer overflow in ClearKey Content Decryption Module (CDM) during video playback An anonymous security researcher working with Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative reported a buffer overflow in the ClearKey Content Decryption Module (CDM) used by the Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) API. This vulnerability can be triggered using a malformed video file due to incorrect error handling. This could allow arbitrary code execution if combined with a second vulnerability that allows an escape from the Gecko Media Plugin (GMP) sandbox. Without such a vulnerability, the buffer overflow is contained within the GMP sandbox and cannot be exploited. Affected Software/OS: Firefox version(s) below 48. Solution: The vendor has released an update. Please see the reference(s) for more information. CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
