CVE-2016-5257 - Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 49 and Firefox ESR 45.4 [CRITICAL]
Reporter: Mozilla developers
Description: Mozilla developers and community members Christoph Diehl, Andrew McCreight, Dan Minor, Byron Campen, Jon Coppeard, Steve Fink, Tyson Smith, Philipp, and Carsten Book reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 48 and Firefox ESR 45.3. Some of 
these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. [Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 49 and Firefox ESR 45.4]

www-client/firefox{,-bin}-{45.4.0,49.0} are now in gentoo repo to address the above.  I will stabilize firefox-bin-45.4.0 myself, as well as firefox-45.4 for  amd64.  

Please stabilize www-client/firefox-45.4.0 for target KEYWORDS="ppc ppc64 x86"

FYI, mail-client/thunderbird-45.4 is two weeks or more away, if it's OK I would like to piggy-back it on this bug once it is available.

[Comment 2 Yury German 2016-09-23 05:39:24 UTC]

Ian for thunderbird just create a simple stabilization bug and have it block this one. It will be a lot easier to keep track of stabilization that way.

[Comment 3 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2016-09-25 20:07:27 UTC]

Stable for PPC64.

[Comment 4 Agostino Sarubbo 2016-09-29 09:07:59 UTC]

x86 stable

[Comment 5 Agostino Sarubbo 2016-09-29 13:09:29 UTC]
