Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Mozilla FirefoxOS 1.2 (Web Browser). This affects the function DeviceStorageFile::NormalizeFilePath of the component DeviceStorage API. The manipulation with the input value /../ leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Directory traversal vulnerability in the DeviceStorage API in Mozilla FirefoxOS before 1.2.2 allows attackers to bypass the media sandbox protection mechanism, and read or modify arbitrary files, via a crafted application that uses a relative pathname for a DeviceStorageFile object.

The weakness was disclosed 03/18/2014 by Ben Turner with OUSPG as MFSA2014-25 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is shared at mozilla.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2014-1507 since 01/16/2014. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue.
