Ubuntu Security Notice USN-645-3 September 25, 2008
firefox-3.0, xulrunner-1.9 regression
https://launchpad.net/bugs/270429
==========================
==========================
=========
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
firefox 3.0.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
xulrunner-1.9 1.9.0.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
After a standard system upgrade you need to restart Firefox and any
applications that use xulrunner, such as Epiphany, to effect the
necessary changes.
Details follow:
USN-645-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox and xulrunner. The upstream
patches introduced a regression in the saved password handling. While
password data was not lost, if a user had saved any passwords with
non-ASCII characters, Firefox could not access the password database.
This update fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
Justin Schuh, Tom Cross and Peter Williams discovered errors in the
Firefox URL parsing routines. If a user were tricked into opening a
crafted hyperlink, an attacker could overflow a stack buffer and
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-0016)
=20
It was discovered that the same-origin check in Firefox could be
bypassed. If a user were tricked into opening a malicious website,
an attacker may be able to execute JavaScript in the context of a
different website. (CVE-2008-3835)
=20
Several problems were discovered in the JavaScript engine. This
could allow an attacker to execute scripts from page content with
chrome privileges. (CVE-2008-3836)
=20
Paul Nickerson discovered Firefox did not properly process mouse
click events. If a user were tricked into opening a malicious web
page, an attacker could move the content window, which could
potentially be used to force a user to perform unintended drag and
drop operations. (CVE-2008-3837)
=20
Several problems were discovered in the browser engine. This could
allow an attacker to execute code with chrome privileges.
(CVE-2008-4058, CVE-2008-4059, CVE-2008-4060)
=20
Drew Yao, David Maciejak and other Mozilla developers found several
problems in the browser engine of Firefox. If a user were tricked
into opening a malicious web page, an attacker could cause a denial
of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges
of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2008-4061, CVE-2008-4062,
CVE-2008-4063, CVE-2008-4064)
=20
Dave Reed discovered a flaw in the JavaScript parsing code when
processing certain BOM characters. An attacker could exploit this
to bypass script filters and perform cross-site scripting attacks.
(CVE-2008-4065)
=20
Gareth Heyes discovered a flaw in the HTML parser of Firefox. If a
user were tricked into opening a malicious web page, an attacker
could bypass script filtering and perform cross-site scripting
attacks. (CVE-2008-4066)
=20
Boris Zbarsky and Georgi Guninski independently discovered flaws in
the resource: protocol. An attacker could exploit this to perform
directory traversal, read information about the system, and prompt
the user to save information in a file. (CVE-2008-4067,
CVE-2008-4068)
=20
Billy Hoffman discovered a problem in the XBM decoder. If a user were
tricked into opening a malicious web page or XBM file, an attacker
may be able to cause a denial of service via application crash.
(CVE-2008-4069)
