Original advisory details:

 Christian Holler, Patrick McManus, Christoph Diehl, Gary Kwong, Jesse
 Ruderman, Byron Campen, Terrence Cole, and Nils Ohlmeier discovered
 multiple memory safety issues in Firefox. If a user were tricked in to
 opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit
 these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or execute
 arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox.
 (CVE-2014-8634, CVE-2014-8635)

 Bobby Holley discovered that some DOM objects with certain properties
 can bypass XrayWrappers in some circumstances. If a user were tricked in
 to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially
 exploit this to bypass security restrictions. (CVE-2014-8636)

 Michal Zalewski discovered a use of uninitialized memory when rendering
 malformed bitmap images on a canvas element. If a user were tricked in to
 opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could potentially
 exploit this to steal confidential information. (CVE-2014-8637)

 Muneaki Nishimura discovered that requests from navigator.sendBeacon()
 lack an origin header. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially
 crafted website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct
 cross-site request forgery (XSRF) attacks. (CVE-2014-8638)

 Xiaofeng Zheng discovered that a web proxy returning a 407 response
 could inject cookies in to the originally requested domain. If a user
 connected to a malicious web proxy, an attacker could potentially exploit
 this to conduct session-fixation attacks. (CVE-2014-8639)

 Holger Fuhrmannek discovered a crash in Web Audio while manipulating
 timelines. If a user were tricked in to opening a specially crafted
 website, an attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial
 of service. (CVE-2014-8640)

 Mitchell Harper discovered a use-after-free in WebRTC. If a user were
 tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
 potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service via application
 crash, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking
 Firefox. (CVE-2014-8641)

 Brian Smith discovered that OCSP responses would fail to verify if signed
 by a delegated OCSP responder certificate with the id-pkix-ocsp-nocheck
 extension, potentially allowing a user to connect to a site with a revoked
 certificate. (CVE-2014-8642)");
