Security researcher Holger Fuhrmannek reported that when the
Mozilla updater is run, the updater can be manipulated to load the updated files from a
working directory under user control in concert with junctions. When the updates are run
by the Mozilla Maintenance Service on Windows, these malicious files can be run with
elevated privileges and be used to replace arbitrary files on the system. This could allow
for arbitrary code execution by a malicious user with local system access but does not
allow for exploitation by web content.
This issue is specific to Windows and does not affect Linux or OS X
systems.

Security researcher Ronald Crane reported two issues in the libGLES
portions of the ANGLE graphics library, used for WebGL and OpenGL content on Windows
systems. The first of these is a missing bounds check leading to memory safety errors when
manipulating shaders which could result in the writing to unowned memory. The second issue
also affects shaders when insufficient memory is allocated for a shader attribute array,
leading to a buffer overflow. Both of these issues can lead to a potentially exploitable
crash.
These issues are specific to Windows and does not affect Linux or OS X
systems.
In general this flaw cannot be exploited through email in the
Thunderbird product because scripting is disabled, but is potentially a risk in
browser or browser-like contexts.
