  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"CVE-2017-7798: XUL injection in the style editor in devtools
The Developer Tools feature suffers from a XUL injection vulnerability due to improper sanitization of the web page source code. In the worst case, this could allow arbitrary code execution when opening a malicious page with the style editor tool.

CVE-2017-7800: Use-after-free in WebSockets during disconnection
A use-after-free vulnerability can occur in WebSockets when the object holding the connection is freed before the disconnection operation is finished. This results in an exploitable crash.

CVE-2017-7801: Use-after-free with marquee during window resizing
A use-after-free vulnerability can occur while re-computing layout for a marquee element during window resizing where the updated style object is freed while still in use. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.

CVE-2017-7809: Use-after-free while deleting attached editor DOM node
A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when an editor DOM node is deleted prematurely during tree traversal while still bound to the document. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.

CVE-2017-7784: Use-after-free with image observers
A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when reading an image observer during frame reconstruction after the observer has been freed. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.

CVE-2017-7802: Use-after-free resizing image elements
A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when manipulating the DOM during the resize event of an image element. If these elements have been freed due to a lack of strong references, a potentially exploitable crash may occur when the freed elements are accessed.

CVE-2017-7785: Buffer overflow manipulating ARIA attributes in DOM
A buffer overflow can occur when manipulating Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) attributes within the DOM. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.

CVE-2017-7786: Buffer overflow while painting non-displayable SVG
A buffer overflow can occur when the image renderer attempts to paint non-displayable SVG elements. This results in a potentially exploitable crash.

CVE-2017-7806: Use-after-free in layer manager with SVG
A use-after-free vulnerability can occur when the layer manager is freed too early when rendering specific SVG content, resulting in a potentially exploitable crash.

CVE-2017-7753: Out-of-bounds read with cached style data and pseudo-elements
An out-of-bounds read occurs when applying style rules to pseudo-elements, such as ::first-line, using cached style data.

CVE-2017-7787: Same-origin policy bypass with iframes through page reloads
Same-origin policy protections can be bypassed on pages with embedded iframes during page reloads, allowing the iframes to access content on the top level page, leading to information disclosure.

CVE-2017-7807: Domain hijacking through AppCache fallback
A mechanism that uses AppCache to hijack a URL ... [Please see the references for more information on the vulnerabilities]");
