Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser.
Users of Firefox are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which
contain Firefox version 1.5.0.8 that corrects these issues.
From Red Hat Security Advisory 2006:0733 :
Several flaws were found in the way Firefox processes certain malformed
Javascript code. A malicious web page could cause the execution of
Javascript code in such a way that could cause Firefox to crash or
execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2006-5463,
CVE-2006-5747, CVE-2006-5748)
Several flaws were found in the way Firefox renders web pages. A
malicious web page could cause the browser to crash or possibly execute
arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2006-5464)
A flaw was found in the way Firefox verifies RSA signatures. For RSA
keys with exponent 3 it is possible for an attacker to forge a signature
that would be incorrectly verified by the NSS library. Firefox as
shipped trusts several root Certificate Authorities that use exponent 3.
An attacker could have created a carefully crafted SSL certificate which
be incorrectly trusted when their site was visited by a victim. This
flaw was previously thought to be fixed in Firefox 1.5.0.7, however
Ulrich Kuehn discovered the fix was incomplete (CVE-2006-5462)
From Red Hat Security Advisory 2006:0675 :
Two flaws were found in the way Firefox processed certain regular
expressions. A malicious web page could crash the browser or possibly
execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2006-4565,
CVE-2006-4566)
A number of flaws were found in Firefox. A malicious web page could
crash the browser or possibly execute arbitrary code as the user running
Firefox. (CVE-2006-4571)
A flaw was found in the handling of Javascript timed events. A
malicious web page could crash the browser or possibly execute arbitrary
code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2006-4253)
Daniel Bleichenbacher recently described an implementation error in RSA
signature verification. For RSA keys with exponent 3 it is possible for
an attacker to forge a signature that would be incorrectly verified by
the NSS library. Firefox as shipped trusts several root Certificate
Authorities that use exponent 3. An attacker could have created a
carefully crafted SSL certificate which be incorrectly trusted when
their site was visited by a victim. (CVE-2006-4340)
A flaw was found in the Firefox auto-update verification system. An
attacker who has the ability to spoof a victim's DNS could get Firefox
to download and install malicious code. In order to exploit this issue
an attacker would also need to get a victim to previously accept an
unverifiable certificate. (CVE-2006-4567)
Firefox did not properly prevent a frame in one domain from injecting
content into a sub-frame that belongs to another domain, which
facilitates website spoofing and other attacks (CVE-2006-4568)
Firefox did not load manually opened, blocked popups in the right domain
context, which could lead to cross-site scripting attacks. In order to
exploit this issue an attacker would need to find a site which would
frame their malicious page and convince the user to manually open a
blocked popup. (CVE-2006-4569)

input object mutation. A malicious web page could upload an arbitrary
local file at form submission time without user interaction.
(CVE-2006-2782)
A denial of service flaw was found in the way Firefox called the
crypto.signText() javascript function. A malicious web page could crash
the browser if the victim had a client certificate loaded.
(CVE-2006-2778)
Two HTTP response smuggling flaws were found in the way Firefox
processed certain invalid HTTP response headers. A malicious web site
could return specially crafted HTTP response headers which may bypass
HTTP proxy restrictions. (CVE-2006-2786)
A flaw was found in the way Firefox processed Proxy AutoConfig scripts.
A malicious Proxy AutoConfig server could execute arbitrary javascript
instructions with the permissions of 'chrome', allowing the page to
steal sensitive information or install browser malware. (CVE-2006-3808)
A double free flaw was found in the way the nsIX509::getRawDER method
was called. If a victim visited a carefully crafted web page, it was
possible to execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox.

Several security related problems have been discovered in Mozilla
and derived products such as Mozilla Thunderbird. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
vulnerabilities :
- CVE-2006-2779
Mozilla team members discovered several crashes during
testing of the browser engine showing evidence of
memory corruption which may also lead to the execution
of arbitrary code. The last bit of this problem will
be corrected with the next update. You can prevent any
trouble by disabling JavaScript. [MFSA-2006-32]
- CVE-2006-3805
The JavaScript engine might allow remote attackers to
execute arbitrary code. [MFSA-2006-50]
- CVE-2006-3806
Multiple integer overflows in the JavaScript engine
might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary
code. [MFSA-2006-50]
- CVE-2006-3807
Specially crafted JavaScript allows remote attackers
to execute arbitrary code. [MFSA-2006-51]
- CVE-2006-3808
Remote Proxy AutoConfig (PAC) servers could execute
code with elevated privileges via a specially crafted
PAC script. [MFSA-2006-52]
- CVE-2006-3809
Scripts with the UniversalBrowserRead privilege could
gain UniversalXPConnect privileges and possibly
execute code or obtain sensitive data. [MFSA-2006-53]
- CVE-2006-3810
A cross-site scripting vulnerability allows remote
attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.

(Mozilla Thunderbird: Multiple vulnerabilities)
The following vulnerabilities have been reported:
Benjamin Smedberg discovered that chrome URLss could be made to
reference remote files.
Developers in the Mozilla community
looked for and fixed several crash bugs to improve the stability of
Mozilla clients.
'shutdown' reports that cross-site scripting
(XSS) attacks could be performed using the construct
XPCNativeWrapper(window).Function(...), which created a function that
appeared to belong to the window in question even after it had been
navigated to the target site.
'shutdown' reports that scripts
granting the UniversalBrowserRead privilege can leverage that into the
equivalent of the far more powerful UniversalXPConnect since they are
allowed to 'read' into a privileged context.
'moz_bug_r_a4'
discovered that Named JavaScript functions have a parent object created
using the standard Object() constructor (ECMA-specified behavior) and
that this constructor can be redefined by script (also ECMA-specified
behavior).
Igor Bukanov and shutdown found additional places
where an untimely garbage collection could delete a temporary object
that was in active use.
Georgi Guninski found potential
integer overflow issues with long strings in the toSource() methods of
the Object, Array and String objects as well as string function
arguments.
H. D. Moore reported a testcase that was able to
trigger a race condition where JavaScript garbage collection deleted a
temporary variable still being used in the creation of a new Function
object.
A malicious page can hijack native DOM methods on a
document object in another domain, which will run the attacker's script
when called by the victim page.
Secunia Research has
discovered a vulnerability which is caused due to an memory corruption
error within the handling of simultaneously happening XPCOM events.
This leads to use of a deleted timer object.
Impact :
A user can be enticed to open specially crafted URLs, visit webpages
containing malicious JavaScript or execute a specially crafted script.
These events could lead to the execution of arbitrary code, or the
installation of malware on the user's computer.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time. | | last seen | 2019-01-16 | | modified | 2018-07-11 | | plugin id | 22146 | | published | 2006-08-04 | | reporter | Tenable | | source | https://www.tenable.com/plugins/index.php?view=single&id=22146 | | title | GLSA-200608-04 : Mozilla Thunderbird: Multiple vulnerabilities |

It includes fixes to the following security problems :
- CVE-2006-3801/MFSA 2006-44: Code execution through
deleted frame reference
Thilo Girmann discovered that in certain circumstances a
JavaScript reference to a frame or window was not
properly cleared when the referenced content went away,
and he demonstrated that this pointer to a deleted
object could be used to execute native code supplied by
the attacker.
- CVE-2006-3677/MFSA 2006-45: JavaScript navigator Object
Vulnerability
An anonymous researcher for TippingPoint and the Zero
Day Initiative showed that when used in a web page Java
would reference properties of the window.navigator
object as it started up. If the page replaced the
navigator object before starting Java then the browser
would crash in a way that could be exploited to run
native code supplied by the attacker.
- CVE-2006-3113/MFSA 2006-46: Memory corruption with
simultaneous events
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in
Mozilla Firefox 1.5 branch, which can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an memory corruption
error within the handling of simultaneously happening
XPCOM events, which leads to use of a deleted timer
object. This generally results in a crash but
potentially could be exploited to execute arbitrary code
on a user's system when a malicious website is visited.
- CVE-2006-3802/MFSA 2006-47: Native DOM methods can be
hijacked across domains
A malicious page can hijack native DOM methods on a
document object in another domain, which will run the
attacker's script when called by the victim page. This
could be used to steal login cookies, password, or other
sensitive data on the target page, or to perform actions
on behalf of a logged-in user.
Access checks on all other properties and document nodes
are performed correctly. This cross-site scripting (XSS)
attack is limited to pages which use standard DOM
methods of the top-level document object, such as
document.getElementById(). This includes many popular
sites, especially the newer ones that offer rich
interaction to the user.
- CVE-2006-3803/MFSA 2006-48: JavaScript new Function race
condition
H. D. Moore reported a testcase that was able to trigger
a race condition where JavaScript garbage collection
deleted a temporary variable still being used in the
creation of a new Function object. The resulting use of
a deleted object may be potentially exploitable to run
native code provided by the attacker.
- CVE-2006-3804/MFSA 2006-49: Heap buffer overwrite on
malformed VCard
A VCard attachment with a malformed base64 field (such
as a photo) can trigger a heap buffer overwrite. These
have proven exploitable in the past, though in this case
the overwrite is accompanied by an integer underflow
that would attempt to copy more data than the typical
machine has, leading to a crash.
- CVE-2006-3805/CVE-2006-3806/MFSA 2006-50: JavaScript
engine vulnerabilities
Continuing our security audit of the JavaScript engine,
Mozilla developers found and fixed several potential
vulnerabilities.
Igor Bukanov and shutdown found additional places where
an untimely garbage collection could delete a temporary
object that was in active use (similar to MFSA 2006-01
and MFSA 2006-10). Some of these may allow an attacker
to run arbitrary code given the right conditions.
Georgi Guninski found potential integer overflow issues
with long strings in the toSource() methods of the
Object, Array and String objects as well as string
function arguments.
- CVE-2006-3807/MFSA 2006-51: Privilege escalation using
named-functions and redefined 'new Object()'
moz_bug_r_a4 discovered that named JavaScript functions
have a parent object created using the standard Object()
constructor (ECMA-specified behavior) and that this
constructor can be redefined by script (also
ECMA-specified behavior). If the Object() constructor is
changed to return a reference to a privileged object
with useful properties it is possible to have
attacker-supplied script excuted with elevated
privileges by calling the function. This could be used
to install malware or take other malicious actions.
Our fix involves calling the internal Object constructor
which appears to be what other ECMA-compatible
interpreters do.
- CVE-2006-3808/MFSA 2006-52: PAC privilege escalation
using Function.prototype.call
moz_bug_r_a4 reports that a malicious Proxy AutoConfig
(PAC) server could serve a PAC script that can execute
code with elevated privileges by setting the required
FindProxyForURL function to the eval method on a
privileged object that leaked into the PAC sandbox. By
redirecting the victim to a specially crafted URL --
easily done since the PAC script controls which proxy to
use -- the URL 'hostname' can be executed as privileged
script.
A malicious proxy server can perform spoofing attacks on
the user so it was already important to use a
trustworthy PAC server.
- CVE-2006-3809/MFSA 2006-53: UniversalBrowserRead
privilege escalation
shutdown reports that scripts granted the
UniversalBrowserRead privilege can leverage that into
the equivalent of the far more powerful
UniversalXPConnect since they are allowed to 'read' into
a privileged context. This allows the attacker the
ability to run scripts with the full privelege of the
user running the browser, possibly installing malware or
snooping on private data. This has been fixed so that
UniversalBrowserRead and UniversalBrowserWrite are
limited to reading from and writing into only
normally-privileged browser windows and frames.
- CVE-2006-3810/MFSA 2006-54: XSS with
XPCNativeWrapper(window).Function(...)
shutdown reports that cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks
could be performed using the construct
XPCNativeWrapper(window).Function(...), which created a
function that appeared to belong to the window in
question even after it had been navigated to the target
site.
- CVE-2006-3811/MFSA 2006-55: Crashes with evidence of
memory corruption
As part of the Firefox 1.5.0.5 stability and security
release, developers in the Mozilla community looked for
and fixed several crash bugs to improve the stability of
Mozilla clients. Some of these crashes showed evidence
of memory corruption that we presume could be exploited
to run arbitrary code with enough effort.
- CVE-2006-3812/MFSA 2006-56: chrome: scheme loading
remote content
Benjamin Smedberg discovered that chrome URL's could be
made to reference remote files, which would run scripts
with full privilege. There is no known way for web
content to successfully load a chrome: url, but if a
user could be convinced to do so manually (perhaps by
copying a link and pasting it into the location bar)
this could be exploited. | | last seen | 2019-01-16 | | modified | 2018-07-19 | | plugin id | 27113 | | published | 2007-10-17 | | reporter | Tenable | | source | https://www.tenable.com/plugins/index.php?view=single&id=27113 | | title | openSUSE 10 Security Update : MozillaFirefox (MozillaFirefox-1981) |

More Details can be found on this page:

It includes fixes to the following security problems :
- CVE-2006-3801/MFSA 2006-44: Code execution through
deleted frame reference
Thilo Girmann discovered that in certain circumstances a
JavaScript reference to a frame or window was not
properly cleared when the referenced content went away,
and he demonstrated that this pointer to a deleted
object could be used to execute native code supplied by
the attacker.
- CVE-2006-3113/MFSA 2006-46: Memory corruption with
simultaneous events
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in
Mozilla Firefox 1.5 branch, which can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an memory corruption
error within the handling of simultaneously happening
XPCOM events, which leads to use of a deleted timer
object. This generally results in a crash but
potentially could be exploited to execute arbitrary code
on a user's system when a malicious website is visited.
- CVE-2006-3802/MFSA 2006-47: Native DOM methods can be
hijacked across domains
A malicious page can hijack native DOM methods on a
document object in another domain, which will run the
attacker's script when called by the victim page. This
could be used to steal login cookies, password, or other
sensitive data on the target page, or to perform actions
on behalf of a logged-in user.
Access checks on all other properties and document nodes
are performed correctly. This cross-site scripting (XSS)
attack is limited to pages which use standard DOM
methods of the top-level document object, such as
document.getElementById(). This includes many popular
sites, especially the newer ones that offer rich
interaction to the user.
- CVE-2006-3803/MFSA 2006-48: JavaScript new Function race
condition
H. D. Moore reported a testcase that was able to trigger
a race condition where JavaScript garbage collection
deleted a temporary variable still being used in the
creation of a new Function object. The resulting use of
a deleted object may be potentially exploitable to run
native code provided by the attacker.
- CVE-2006-3804/MFSA 2006-49: Heap buffer overwrite on
malformed VCard
A VCard attachment with a malformed base64 field (such
as a photo) can trigger a heap buffer overwrite. These
have proven exploitable in the past, though in this case
the overwrite is accompanied by an integer underflow
that would attempt to copy more data than the typical
machine has, leading to a crash.
- CVE-2006-3805/CVE-2006-3806/MFSA 2006-50: JavaScript
engine vulnerabilities
Continuing our security audit of the JavaScript engine,
Mozilla developers found and fixed several potential
vulnerabilities.
Igor Bukanov and shutdown found additional places where
an untimely garbage collection could delete a temporary
object that was in active use (similar to MFSA 2006-01
and MFSA 2006-10). Some of these may allow an attacker
to run arbitrary code given the right conditions.
Georgi Guninski found potential integer overflow issues
with long strings in the toSource() methods of the
Object, Array and String objects as well as string
function arguments.
- CVE-2006-3807/MFSA 2006-51: Privilege escalation using
named-functions and redefined 'new Object()'
moz_bug_r_a4 discovered that named JavaScript functions
have a parent object created using the standard Object()
constructor (ECMA-specified behavior) and that this
constructor can be redefined by script (also
ECMA-specified behavior). If the Object() constructor is
changed to return a reference to a privileged object
with useful properties it is possible to have
attacker-supplied script excuted with elevated
privileges by calling the function. This could be used
to install malware or take other malicious actions.
Our fix involves calling the internal Object constructor
which appears to be what other ECMA-compatible
interpreters do.
- CVE-2006-3808/MFSA 2006-52: PAC privilege escalation
using Function.prototype.call
moz_bug_r_a4 reports that a malicious Proxy AutoConfig
(PAC) server could serve a PAC script that can execute
code with elevated privileges by setting the required
FindProxyForURL function to the eval method on a
privileged object that leaked into the PAC sandbox. By
redirecting the victim to a specially crafted URL --
easily done since the PAC script controls which proxy to
use -- the URL 'hostname' can be executed as privileged
script.
A malicious proxy server can perform spoofing attacks on
the user so it was already important to use a
trustworthy PAC server.
- CVE-2006-3809/MFSA 2006-53: UniversalBrowserRead
privilege escalation
shutdown reports that scripts granted the
UniversalBrowserRead privilege can leverage that into
the equivalent of the far more powerful
UniversalXPConnect since they are allowed to 'read' into
a privileged context. This allows the attacker the
ability to run scripts with the full privelege of the
user running the browser, possibly installing malware or
snooping on private data. This has been fixed so that
UniversalBrowserRead and UniversalBrowserWrite are
limited to reading from and writing into only
normally-privileged browser windows and frames.
- CVE-2006-3810/MFSA 2006-54: XSS with
XPCNativeWrapper(window).Function(...)
shutdown reports that cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks
could be performed using the construct
XPCNativeWrapper(window).Function(...), which created a
function that appeared to belong to the window in
question even after it had been navigated to the target
site.
- CVE-2006-3811/MFSA 2006-55: Crashes with evidence of
memory corruption
As part of the Firefox 1.5.0.5 stability and security
release, developers in the Mozilla community looked for
and fixed several crash bugs to improve the stability of
Mozilla clients. Some of these crashes showed evidence
of memory corruption that we presume could be exploited
to run arbitrary code with enough effort. | | last seen | 2019-01-16 | | modified | 2018-07-19 | | plugin id | 27125 | | published | 2007-10-17 | | reporter | Tenable | | source | https://www.tenable.com/plugins/index.php?view=single&id=27125 | | title | openSUSE 10 Security Update : MozillaThunderbird (MozillaThunderbird-1924) |

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability which is caused due
to an memory corruption error within the handling of simultaneously
happening XPCOM events. This leads to use of a deleted timer
object.
An anonymous researcher for TippingPoint and the Zero
Day Initiative showed that when used in a web page Java would reference
properties of the window.navigator object as it started up.
Thilo Girmann discovered that in certain circumstances a JavaScript
reference to a frame or window was not properly cleared when the
referenced content went away.
Impact :
A user can be enticed to open specially crafted URLs, visit webpages
containing malicious JavaScript or execute a specially crafted script.
These events could lead to the execution of arbitrary code, or the
installation of malware on the user's computer.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time. | | last seen | 2019-01-16 | | modified | 2018-07-11 | | plugin id | 22145 | | published | 2006-08-04 | | reporter | Tenable | | source | https://www.tenable.com/plugins/index.php?view=single&id=22145 | | title | GLSA-200608-03 : Mozilla Firefox: Multiple vulnerabilities |

allowed to 'read' into a privileged context.
'moz_bug_r_a4'
reports that A malicious Proxy AutoConfig (PAC) server could serve a
PAC script that can execute code with elevated privileges by setting
the required FindProxyForURL function to the eval method on a
privileged object that leaked into the PAC sandbox.
'moz_bug_r_a4' discovered that Named JavaScript functions have a
parent object created using the standard Object() constructor
(ECMA-specified behavior) and that this constructor can be redefined by
script (also ECMA-specified behavior).
Igor Bukanov and
shutdown found additional places where an untimely garbage collection
could delete a temporary object that was in active use.
Georgi
Guninski found potential integer overflow issues with long strings in
the toSource() methods of the Object, Array and String objects as well
as string function arguments.
H. D. Moore reported a testcase
that was able to trigger a race condition where JavaScript garbage
collection deleted a temporary variable still being used in the
creation of a new Function object.
A malicious page can hijack
native DOM methods on a document object in another domain, which will
run the attacker's script when called by the victim page.
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability which is caused due
to an memory corruption error within the handling of simultaneously
happening XPCOM events. This leads to use of a deleted timer
object.
An anonymous researcher for TippingPoint and the Zero
Day Initiative showed that when used in a web page Java would reference
properties of the window.navigator object as it started up.
Thilo Girmann discovered that in certain circumstances a JavaScript
reference to a frame or window was not properly cleared when the
referenced content went away.
Impact :
A user can be enticed to open specially crafted URLs, visit webpages
containing malicious JavaScript or execute a specially crafted script.
These events could lead to the execution of arbitrary code, or the
installation of malware on the user's computer.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time. | | last seen | 2019-01-16 | | modified | 2018-07-11 | | plugin id | 22144 | | published | 2006-08-04 | | reporter | Tenable | | source | https://www.tenable.com/plugins/index.php?view=single&id=22144 | | title | GLSA-200608-02 : Mozilla SeaMonkey: Multiple vulnerabilities |
| NASL family | SuSE Local Security Checks | | NASL id | SUSE_MOZILLAFIREFOX-1960.NASL | | description | This security update brings Mozilla Firefox to version 1.5.0.6.
More details can be found on:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabiliti es.html
It includes fixes to the following security problems :
- Code execution through deleted frame reference.
(CVE-2006-3801 / MFSA 2006-44)
Thilo Girmann discovered that in certain circumstances a
JavaScript reference to a frame or window was not
properly cleared when the referenced content went away,
and he demonstrated that this pointer to a deleted
object could be used to execute native code supplied by
the attacker.
- JavaScript navigator Object Vulnerability.
(CVE-2006-3677 / MFSA 2006-45)
An anonymous researcher for TippingPoint and the Zero
Day Initiative showed that when used in a web page Java
would reference properties of the window.navigator
object as it started up. If the page replaced the
navigator object before starting Java then the browser
would crash in a way that could be exploited to run
native code supplied by the attacker.
- Memory corruption with simultaneous events.
(CVE-2006-3113 / MFSA 2006-46)
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in
Mozilla Firefox 1.5 branch, which can be exploited by
malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an memory corruption
error within the handling of simultaneously happening
XPCOM events, which leads to use of a deleted timer
object. This generally results in a crash but
potentially could be exploited to execute arbitrary code
on a user's system when a malicious website is visited.
- Native DOM methods can be hijacked across domains.
(CVE-2006-3802 / MFSA 2006-47)
A malicious page can hijack native DOM methods on a
document object in another domain, which will run the
attacker's script when called by the victim page. This
could be used to steal login cookies, password, or other
sensitive data on the target page, or to perform actions
on behalf of a logged-in user.
Access checks on all other properties and document nodes
are performed correctly. This cross-site scripting (XSS)
attack is limited to pages which use standard DOM
methods of the top-level document object, such as
document.getElementById(). This includes many popular
sites, especially the newer ones that offer rich
interaction to the user.
- JavaScript new Function race condition. (CVE-2006-3803 /
MFSA 2006-48)
H. D. Moore reported a testcase that was able to trigger
a race condition where JavaScript garbage collection
deleted a temporary variable still being used in the
creation of a new Function object. The resulting use of
a deleted object may be potentially exploitable to run
native code provided by the attacker.
- Heap buffer overwrite on malformed VCard. (CVE-2006-3804
/ MFSA 2006-49)
A VCard attachment with a malformed base64 field (such
as a photo) can trigger a heap buffer overwrite. These
have proven exploitable in the past, though in this case
the overwrite is accompanied by an integer underflow
that would attempt to copy more data than the typical
machine has, leading to a crash.
- JavaScript engine vulnerabilities. (CVE-2006-3805 /
CVE-2006-3806 / MFSA 2006-50)
Continuing our security audit of the JavaScript engine,
Mozilla developers found and fixed several potential
vulnerabilities.
Igor Bukanov and shutdown found additional places where
an untimely garbage collection could delete a temporary
object that was in active use (similar to MFSA 2006-01 /
MFSA 2006-10). Some of these may allow an attacker to
run arbitrary code given the right conditions.
Georgi Guninski found potential integer overflow issues
with long strings in the toSource() methods of the
Object, Array and String objects as well as string
function arguments.
- Privilege escalation using named-functions and redefined
'new Object()'. (CVE-2006-3807 / MFSA 2006-51)
moz_bug_r_a4 discovered that named JavaScript functions
have a parent object created using the standard Object()
constructor (ECMA-specified behavior) and that this
constructor can be redefined by script (also
ECMA-specified behavior). If the Object() constructor is
changed to return a reference to a privileged object
with useful properties it is possible to have
attacker-supplied script excuted with elevated
privileges by calling the function. This could be used
to install malware or take other malicious actions.
Our fix involves calling the internal Object constructor
which appears to be what other ECMA-compatible
interpreters do.
- PAC privilege escalation using Function.prototype.call.
(CVE-2006-3808 / MFSA 2006-52)
moz_bug_r_a4 reports that a malicious Proxy AutoConfig
(PAC) server could serve a PAC script that can execute
code with elevated privileges by setting the required
FindProxyForURL function to the eval method on a
privileged object that leaked into the PAC sandbox. By
redirecting the victim to a specially crafted URL --
easily done since the PAC script controls which proxy to
use -- the URL 'hostname' can be executed as privileged
script.
A malicious proxy server can perform spoofing attacks on
the user so it was already important to use a
trustworthy PAC server.
- UniversalBrowserRead privilege escalation.
(CVE-2006-3809 / MFSA 2006-53)
shutdown reports that scripts granted the
UniversalBrowserRead privilege can leverage that into
the equivalent of the far more powerful
UniversalXPConnect since they are allowed to 'read' into
a privileged context. This allows the attacker the
ability to run scripts with the full privelege of the
user running the browser, possibly installing malware or
snooping on private data. This has been fixed so that
UniversalBrowserRead and UniversalBrowserWrite are
limited to reading from and writing into only
normally-privileged browser windows and frames.
- XSS with XPCNativeWrapper(window).Function(...).
(CVE-2006-3810 / MFSA 2006-54)
shutdown reports that cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks
could be performed using the construct
XPCNativeWrapper(window).Function(...), which created a
function that appeared to belong to the window in
question even after it had been navigated to the target
site.
- Crashes with evidence of memory corruption.
(CVE-2006-3811 / MFSA 2006-55)
As part of the Firefox 1.5.0.5 stability and security
release, developers in the Mozilla community looked for
and fixed several crash bugs to improve the stability of
Mozilla clients. Some of these crashes showed evidence
of memory corruption that we presume could be exploited
to run arbitrary code with enough effort.
- chrome: scheme loading remote content. (CVE-2006-3812 /
MFSA 2006-56)
Benjamin Smedberg discovered that chrome URL's could be
made to reference remote files, which would run scripts
with full privilege. There is no known way for web
content to successfully load a chrome: url, but if a
user could be convinced to do so manually (perhaps by
copying a link and pasting it into the location bar)
this could be exploited. | | last seen | 2019-01-16 | | modified | 2014-08-16 | | plugin id | 29354 | | published | 2007-12-13 | | reporter | Tenable | | source | https://www.tenable.com/plugins/index.php?view=single&id=29354 | | title | SuSE 10 Security Update : Firefox (ZYPP Patch Number 1960) |

Various flaws have been reported that allow an attacker to execute
arbitrary code with user privileges by tricking the user into opening
a malicious email containing JavaScript. Please note that JavaScript
is disabled by default for emails, and it is not recommended to enable
it. (CVE-2006-3113, CVE-2006-3802, CVE-2006-3803, CVE-2006-3805,
CVE-2006-3806, CVE-2006-3807, CVE-2006-3809, CVE-2006-3810,
CVE-2006-3811, CVE-2006-3812, CVE-2006-4253, CVE-2006-4565,
CVE-2006-4566, CVE-2006-4571)
A buffer overflow has been discovered in the handling of .vcard files.
By tricking a user into importing a malicious vcard into his contacts,
this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the user's
privileges. (CVE-2006-3804)
The NSS library did not sufficiently check the padding of PKCS #1 v1.5
signatures if the exponent of the public key is 3 (which is widely
used for CAs). This could be exploited to forge valid signatures
without the need of the secret key. (CVE-2006-4340)
Jon Oberheide reported a way how a remote attacker could trick users
into downloading arbitrary extensions with circumventing the normal
SSL certificate check. The attacker would have to be in a position to
spoof the victim's DNS, causing them to connect to sites of the
attacker's choosing rather than the sites intended by the victim. If
they gained that control and the victim accepted the attacker's cert
for the Mozilla update site, then the next update check could be
hijacked and redirected to the attacker's site without detection.
(CVE-2006-4567)
Georgi Guninski discovered that even with JavaScript disabled, a
malicous email could still execute JavaScript when the message is
viewed, replied to, or forwarded by putting the script in a remote XBL
file loaded by the message. (CVE-2006-4570)
The 'enigmail' plugin and the translation packages have been updated
to work with the new Thunderbird version.
