These security issues were fixed :

- Memory corruption vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2014-0576, CVE-2014-0581, CVE-2014-8440, CVE-2014-8441).

- Use-after-free vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2014-0573, CVE-2014-0588, CVE-2014-8438).

- A double free vulnerability that could lead to code execution (CVE-2014-0574).

- Type confusion vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2014-0577, CVE-2014-0584, CVE-2014-0585, CVE-2014-0586, CVE-2014-0590).

- Heap buffer overflow vulnerabilities that could lead to code execution (CVE-2014-0582, CVE-2014-0589).

- An information disclosure vulnerability that could be exploited to disclose session tokens (CVE-2014-8437).

- A heap buffer overflow vulnerability that could be exploited to perform privilege escalation from low to medium integrity level (CVE-2014-0583).

- A permission issue that could be exploited to perform privilege escalation from low to medium integrity level (CVE-2014-8442).
