Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1463-4

Posted Jun 22, 2012

Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice 1463-4 - USN-1463-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. This update provides the corresponding fixes for Thunderbird. Jesse Ruderman, Igor Bukanov, Bill McCloskey, Christian Holler, Andrew McCreight, Olli Pettay, Boris Zbarsky, and Brian Bondy discovered memory safety issues affecting Firefox. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could possibly exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. It was discovered that Mozilla's WebGL implementation exposed a bug in certain NVIDIA graphics drivers. Various other issues have also been addressed.
