Mozilla released Firefox 39 on Thursday, and with it comes fixes for a number of vulnerabilities – some of which are deemed critical.
Seven vulnerabilities found through code inspection were highlighted in critical Advisory 2015-66, including three uses of uninitialized memory, one poor validation leading to an exploitable crash, one read of unowned memory in zip files, and two buffer overflows.
A number of other high, moderate and low impact vulnerabilities were also addressed in Firefox 39, including an out-of-bound read while computing an oscillator rendering range in Web Audio, privilege escalation in PDF.js, and type confusion in indexed Database Manager.
