CVE-2017-5400: asm.js JIT-spray bypass of ASLR and DEP REPORTER Rh0 IMPACT CRITICAL Description JIT-spray targeting asm.js combined with a heap spray allows for a bypass of ASLR and DEP protections leading to potential memory corruption attacks. References Bug 1334933 #CVE-2017-5401: Memory Corruption when handling ErrorResult REPORTER Anton Eliasson IMPACT CRITICAL Description A crash triggerable by web content in which an ErrorResult references unassigned memory due to a logic error. The resulting crash may be exploitable. References Bug 1328861 #CVE-2017-5402: Use-after-free working with events in FontFace objects REPORTER Nils IMPACT CRITICAL Description A use-after-free can occur when events are fired for a FontFace object after the object has been already been destroyed while working with fonts. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. References Bug 1334876 #CVE-2017-5404: Use-after-free working with ranges in selections REPORTER Ivan Fratric of Google Project Zero IMPACT CRITICAL Description A use-after-free error can occur when manipulating ranges in selections with one node inside a native anonymous tree and one node outside of it. This results in a potentially exploitable crash. References Bug 1340138 #CVE-2017-5407: Pixel and history stealing via floating-point timing side channel with SVG filters REPORTER David Kohlbrenner IMPACT HIGH Description Using SVG filters that don't use the fixed point math implementation on a target iframe, a malicious page can extract pixel values from a targeted user. This can be used to extract history information and read text values across domains. This violates same-origin policy and leads to information disclosure. References Bug 1336622 #CVE-2017-5410: Memory corruption during JavaScript garbage collection incremental sweeping REPORTER Jerri Rice IMPACT HIGH Description Memory corruption resulting in a potentially exploitable crash during garbage collection of JavaScript due errors in how incremental sweeping is managed for memory cleanup. References Bug 1330687 #CVE-2017-5408: Cross-origin reading of video captions in violation of CORS REPORTER Eric Lawrence of Chrome Security IMPACT MODERATE Description Video files loaded video captions cross-origin without checking for the presence of CORS headers permitting such cross-origin use, leading to potential information disclosure for video captions. References Bug 1313711 #CVE-2017-5405: FTP response codes can cause use of uninitialized values for ports REPORTER Anonymous IMPACT LOW Description Certain response codes in FTP connections can result in the use of uninitialized values for ports in FTP operations. References Bug 1336699 #CVE-2017-5398: Memory safety bugs fixed in Thunderbird 45.8 REPORTER Mozilla developers and community IMPACT CRITICAL Description Mozilla developers and community members Boris Zbarsky, Christian Holler, Honza Bambas, Jon Coppeard, Randell Jesup, André Bargull, Kan-Ru Chen, and Nathan Froyd reported memory safety bugs present in Thunderbird 45.7. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort that some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.

@ Arch teams: *ping*
ppc stable
ppc64 stable
Can we please finish stabilizing x86
Please complete x86 stabilization.
I've just forced x86 stabilization and dropped 45.7 from the tree.
Arches and Maintainer(s), Thank you for your work.
