After warning users about bugs in Google Chrome for desktop, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has now cautioned against multiple vulnerabilities in Mozilla Firefox products that can let hackers compromise devices and systems.<\/p>\n
The bugs in Mozilla Firefox browser could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, execute arbitrary code and cause denial of service attack on the targeted system, CERT-In said in its latest advisory.<\/p>\n
‘These vulnerabilities exist in Mozilla Firefox due to abuse of XSLT error handling, cross-origin iframe referencing an XSLT document… that results in a use-after-free error and memory safety bugs within the browser engine,’ explained the cyber agency.<\/p>\n
A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a victim to open a specially-crafted web request.<\/p>\n
CERT-In, which comes under the IT Ministry, advised users to update to the latest Mozilla Firefox versions.<\/p>\n
CERT-In also found a vulnerability in open source coding platform Drupal which could allow an attacker to bypass security restrictions on the targeted system.<\/p>\n
‘Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to bypass security restrictions (leak valid payment details and accept invalid payment details) on the targeted system,’ it warned.<\/p>\n
Last week, the cyber agency had warned users about multiple vulnerabilities in Google Chrome for desktop that could let threat actors gain access to their computers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
