The version of Firefox ESR installed on the remote Windows host is 45.x prior to 45.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to a failure to close connections after requesting favicons.
An attacker can exploit this to continue to send requests to the user’s browser and disclose sensitive information.(CVE-2016-2830)
Multiple memory corruption issues exist due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit these issues to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-2835, CVE-2016-2836)
An overflow condition exists in the ClearKey Content Decryption Module (CDM) used by the Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) API due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-2837)
An overflow condition exists in the ProcessPDI() function in layout/base/nsBidi.cpp due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this to cause a heap-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-2838)
An underflow condition exists in the BasePoint4d() function in gfx/2d/Matrix.h due to improper validation of user-supplied input when calculating clipping regions in 2D graphics. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a stack-based buffer underflow, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5252)
A use-after-free error exists in the KeyDown() function in layout/xul/nsXULPopupManager.cpp when using the alt key in conjunction with top level menu items. An attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5254)
A use-after-free error exists in WebRTC that is triggered when handling DTLS objects. An attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5258)
A use-after-free error exists in the DestroySyncLoop() function in dom/workers/WorkerPrivate.cpp that is triggered when handling nested sync event loops in Service Workers. An attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-5259)
A security bypass vulnerability exists due to event handler attributes on a <marquee> tag being executed inside a sandboxed iframe that does not have the allow-scripts flag set. An attacker can exploit this to bypass cross-site scripting protection mechanisms.
(CVE-2016-5262)
A type confusion flaw exists in the HitTest() function in nsDisplayList.cpp when handling display transformations. An attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-5263)
A use-after-free error exists in the NativeAnonymousChildListChange() function when applying effects to SVG elements. An attacker can exploit this to dereference already freed memory, resulting in a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-5264)
A flaw exists in the Redirect() function in nsBaseChannel.cpp that is triggered when a malicious shortcut is called from the same directory as a local HTML file. An attacker can exploit this to bypass the same-origin policy. (CVE-2016-5265)
