TITLE:
Mozilla Firefox Multiple Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37699
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37699/
DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Firefox, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks, bypass
certain security restrictions, manipulate certain data, disclose
sensitive information, or compromise a user's system.
1) Multiple errors in the browser engine can be exploited to corrupt
memory.
2) Multiple errors in the JavaScript engine can be exploited to
corrupt memory.
3) Multiple errors in the included liboggplay library can be
exploited to corrupt memory.
4) An integer overflow error in the included Theora library can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially
crafted video file.
5) An error in the implementation of the NTLM authentication protocol
can be exploited to reflect the user's NTLM credentials to an
arbitrary application.
6) An error when handling HTTP redirections to "https://" URLs can be
exploited to incorrectly display SSL indicators for an insecure page.
7) An error when handling invalid URLs can be exploited to place an
arbitrary and apparently legitimate URL in the location bar.
8) An error when opening content windows from a chrome window can be
exploited to execute arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges
via the "window.opener" property.
NOTE: This vulnerability can only be exploited via certain add-ons
opening untrusted web content.
9) An error when generating "GeckoActiveXObject()" exception messages
can be exploited to determine the presence of COM objects and
potentially track a user across browsing sessions.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.0.16 or 3.5.6.
