Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice 2458-2 - USN-2458-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox. This update provides the corresponding version of Ubufox. Christian Holler, Patrick McManus, Christoph Diehl, Gary Kwong, Jesse Ruderman, Byron Campen, Terrence Cole, and Nils Ohlmeier discovered multiple memory safety issues in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. Various other issues were also addressed.
