(CVE-2013-0801, CVE-2013-1669)
Cody Crews discovered that some constructors could be used to bypass
restrictions enforced by their Chrome Object Wrapper (COW). An attacker
could exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
(CVE-2013-1670)
It was discovered that the file input element could expose the full local
path under certain conditions. An attacker could potentially exploit this
to steal sensitive information. (CVE-2013-1671)
A use-after-free was discovered when resizing video content whilst it is
playing. An attacker could potentially exploit this to execute code with
the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2013-1674)
It was discovered that some DOMSVGZoomEvent functions could be used
without being properly initialized, which could lead to information
leakage. (CVE-2013-1675)
Abhishek Arya discovered multiple memory safety issues in Firefox. If
the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker
