Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. Aral Yaman reported a WebGL crash which affected Firefox 4 and Firefox 5. (CVE-2011-2989) Vivekanand Bolajwar reported a JavaScript crash which affected Firefox 4 and Firefox 5.

(CVE-2011-2988) * Heap overflow in ANGLE library Michael Jordon of Context IS reported a potentially exploitable heap overflow in the ANGLE library used by Mozilla's WebGL implementation. (CVE-2011-2987) * Crash in SVGTextElement.getCharNumAtPosition() Security researcher regenrecht reported via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative that a SVG text manipulation routine contained a dangling pointer vulnerability. (CVE-2011-0084) * Credential leakage using Content Security Policy reports Mike Cardwell reported that Content Security Policy violation reports failed to strip out proxy authorization credentials from the list of request headers. Daniel Veditz reported that redirecting to a website with Content Security Policy resulted in the incorrect resolution of hosts in the constructed policy. (CVE-2011-2990) * Cross-origin data theft using canvas and Windows D2D nasalislarvatus3000 reported that when using Windows D2D hardware acceleration, image data from one domain could be inserted into a canvas and read by a different domain.

These particular issues may be triggered while viewing RSS feeds and displaying full remote content rather than the feed summary. Addons that expose browser functionality may also enable such issues to be exploited. * Miscellaneous memory safety hazards (rv:1.9.2.20) Mozilla developers and community members identified and fixed several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Thunderbird 3.1 and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.

(CVE-2011-2378) * Privilege escalation dropping a tab element in content area Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported that web content could receive chrome privileges if it registered for drop events and a browser tab element was dropped into the content area. (CVE-2011-2984) * Binary planting vulnerability in ThinkPadSensor::Startup Security researcher Mitja Kolsek of Acros Security reported that ThinkPadSensor::Startup could potentially be exploited to load a malicious DLL into the running process. (CVE-2011-2980) * Private data leakage using RegExp.input Security researcher shutdown reported that data from other domains could be read when RegExp.input was set.
