  • Unspecified memory safety issues exist. (CVE-2012-1970,CVE-2012-1971)
  • Multiple use-after-free errors exist. (CVE-2012-1972, CVE-2012-1973, CVE-2012-1974, CVE-2012-1975, CVE-2012-1976, CVE-2012-3956, CVE-2012-3957, CVE-2012-3958, CVE-2012-3959, CVE-2012-3960, CVE-2012-3961, CVE-2012-3962, CVE-2012-3963, CVE-2012-3964)

  • The installer can be ticked into running unauthorized executables. (CVE-2012-3974)
  • The DOM parser can unintentionally load linked resources in extensions. (CVE-2012-3975)
  • Incorrect SSL certificate information can be displayed in the address bar when two β€˜onLocationChange’ events fire out of order. (CVE-2012-3976)
  • Security checks related to location objects can be bypassed if crafted calls are made to the browser chrome code. (CVE-2012-3978)
