  attacks, cause a denial of service memory corruption and application crash

tag_insight = "The flaws are due to
  - memory corruption issues
  - An error within Chrome Object Wrapper (COW) when handling the
    'InstallTrigger' object can be exploited to access certain privileged
    functions and properties.
  - Use-after-free in the IME State Manager code.
  - combination of invoking full screen mode and navigating backwards in
    history could, in some circumstances, cause a hang or crash due to a
    timing dependent use-after-free pointer reference.
  - Several methods of a feature used for testing (DOMWindowUtils) are not
    protected by existing security checks, allowing these methods to be called
    through script by web pages.
  - An error when GetProperty function is invoked through JSAPI, security
    checking can be bypassed when getting cross-origin properties.
  - An issue with spoofing of the location property.
  - Use-after-free, buffer overflow, and out of bounds read issues.
  - The location property can be accessed by binary plugins through
    top.location and top can be shadowed by Object.define Property as well.
    This can allow for possible XSS attacks through plugins.
  - several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in mozilla products.";
