CVE-2014-1567
HighSummary
A use-after-free vulnerability in DirectionalityUtils.cpp in Mozilla Firefox before 32.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.8 and 31.x before 31.1, and Thunderbird 24.x before 24.8 and 31.x before 31.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via text that is improperly handled during the interaction between directionality resolution and layout.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code remotely, potentially leading to system compromise or data theft.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird to the latest versions to mitigate this vulnerability.

The rx::d3d11::SetBufferData function in the Direct3D 11 implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 39.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.8 and 38.x before 38.1, and Thunderbird before 38.1 reads data from uninitialized memory locations, which has unspecified impact.
- CVE-2015-2734High
The CairoTextureClientD3D9::BorrowDrawTarget function in the Direct3D 9 implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 39.0, Firefox ESR 31.x before 31.8 and 38.x before 38.1, and Thunderbird before 38.1 reads data from uninitialized memory locations.
- CVE-2014-1550High
Use-after-free vulnerability in the MediaInputPort class in Mozilla Firefox before 31.0 and Thunderbird before 31.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) by leveraging incorrect Web Audio control-message ordering.
- CVE-2014-1549High
The mozilla::dom::AudioBufferSourceNodeEngine::CopyFromInputBuffer function in Mozilla Firefox before 31.0 and Thunderbird before 31.0 does not properly allocate Web Audio buffer memory, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) via crafted audio content.
- CVE-2014-1548High
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 31.0 and Thunderbird before 31.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.
