Pale Moon Version 27.9.2 Released


Pale Moon
Pale Moon has been updated to version 27.9.2.  This is a security and stability update.  From the Release Notes:

Changes/fixes:
  • We changed the language strings for softblocked items so people will cry less when we do our job.
  • (CVE-2018-5174) Prevent potential SmartScreen bypass on Windows 10.
  • (CVE-2018-5173) Fixed an issue in the Downloads panel improperly rendering some Unicode characters, allowing for the file name to be spoofed. This could be used to obscure the file extension of potentially executable files from user view in the panel.
  • (CVE-2018-5177) Fixed a vulnerability in the XSLT component leading to a buffer overflow and crash if it occurs.
  • (CVE-2018-5159) Fixed an integer overflow vulnerability in the Skia library resulting in possible out-of-bounds writes.

  • (CVE-2018-5178) Fixed a buffer overflow during UTF8 to Unicode string conversion within JavaScript with extremely large amounts of data. This vulnerability requires the use of a malicious or vulnerable extension in order to occur.
  • Fixed several stability issues (crashes) and memory safety hazards.

      • Windows 7/8/10/Server 2008 or later
