Firefox 17.0.1 Flash Privileged Code Injection gains remote code execution on Firefox 17 and 17.0.1, using Flash without memory corruption. It clones a Flash object into the anonymous content of the SVG "use" element in the <body>, navigates a child frame to a URL in the chrome:// scheme, then bypasses the security wrapper around the child frame's window reference and injects code into the chrome:// context. The exploit triggers with Flash but can work with any Firefox plugin with script access

          This exploit gains remote code execution on Firefox 17 and 17.0.1, provided
          the user has installed Flash. No memory corruption is used.

          First, a Flash object is cloned into the anonymous content of the SVG
          "use" element in the <body> (CVE-2013-0758). From there, the Flash object
          can navigate a child frame to a URL in the chrome:// scheme.

          Then a separate exploit (CVE-2013-0757) is used to bypass the security wrapper
          around the child frame's window reference and inject code into the chrome://
          context. Once we have injection into the chrome execution context, we can write
          the payload to disk, chmod it (if posix), and then execute.

          Note: Flash is used here to trigger the exploit but any Firefox plugin
          with script access should be able to trigger it.
