#CVE-2018-12391: HTTP Live Stream audio data is accessible cross-origin
- Reporter
- Jun Kokatsu
- Impact
- high
Description
During HTTP Live Stream playback on Firefox for Android, audio data can be accessed across origins in violation of security policies. Because the problem is in the underlying Android service, this issue is addressed by treating all HLS streams as cross-origin and opaque to access.
Note: this issue only affects Firefox for Android. Desktop versions of Firefox are unaffected.

#CVE-2018-12393: Integer overflow during Unicode conversion while loading JavaScript
- Reporter
- R at Zero Day LLC
- Impact
- high
Description
A potential vulnerability was found in 32-bit builds where an integer overflow during the conversion of scripts to an internal UTF-16 representation could result in allocating a buffer too small for the conversion. This leads to a possible out-of-bounds write.
Note: 64-bit builds are not vulnerable to this issue.

- Reporter
- Rob Wu
