CERT-In issues warning about several vulnerabilities in Android and Mozilla Firefox The cyber agency has cautioned that a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing a user to visit a specifically crafted request. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, which comes under the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, warned users of multiple vulnerabilities in Android and Mozilla Firefox web browsers which could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information, execute arbitrary code and cause Denial-of-Service conditions on the targeted system. "Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow the attacker to obtain sensitive information, gain elevated privileges and cause a denial-of-service condition on the targeted system," said the CERT-In advisory. In Mozilla Firefox, these vulnerabilities exist due to out-of-bounds access via Range Analysis bypass and Privileged JavaScript Execution via Event Handlers.
