MFSA 2010-16 Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.9.2.2/ 1.9.1.9/ 1.9.0.19)

Martijn Wargers, Josh Soref, Jesse Ruderman, and Ehsan Akhgari discovered flaws in the browser engine of Firefox. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2010-0173, CVE-2010-0174)

It was discovered that Firefox could be made to access previously freed memory. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
(CVE-2010-0175, CVE-2010-0176, CVE-2010-0177)

Paul Stone discovered that Firefox could be made to change a mouse click into a drag and drop event. If the user could be tricked into performing this action twice on a crafted website, an attacker could execute arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges. (CVE-2010-0178)

It was discovered that the XMLHttpRequestSpy module as used by the Firebug add-on could be used to escalate privileges within the browser. If the user had the Firebug add-on installed and were tricked into viewing a malicious website, an attacker could potentially run arbitrary JavaScript. (CVE-2010-0179)

Henry Sudhof discovered that an image tag could be used as a redirect to a mailto: URL to launch an external mail handler. (CVE-2010-0181)

Wladimir Palant discovered that Firefox did not always perform security checks on XML content. An attacker could exploit this to bypass security policies to load certain resources. (CVE-2010-0182).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Security issues were identified and fixed in firefox :

Security researcher regenrecht reported (via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative) a potential reuse of a deleted image frame in Firefox 3.6's handling of multipart/x-mixed-replace images. Although no exploit was shown, re-use of freed memory has led to exploitable vulnerabilities in the past (CVE-2010-0164).

Mozilla developers identified and fixed several stability bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these crashes showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code (CVE-2010-0165, CVE-2010-0167).

Mozilla developer Josh Soref of Nokia reported that documents failed to call certain security checks when attempting to preload images.
Although the image content is not available to the page, it is possible to specify protocols that are normally not allowed in a web page such as file:. This includes internal schemes implemented by add-ons that might perform privileged actions resulting in something like a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attack against the add-on.
Potential severity would depend on the add-ons installed (CVE-2010-0168).

Mozilla developer Blake Kaplan reported that the window.location object was made a normal overridable JavaScript object in the Firefox 3.6 browser engine (Gecko 1.9.2) because new mechanisms were developed to enforce the same-origin policy between windows and frames. This object is unfortunately also used by some plugins to determine the page origin used for access restrictions. A malicious page could override this object to fool a plugin into granting access to data on another site or the local file system. The behavior of older Firefox versions has been restored (CVE-2010-0170).

Mozilla developer Justin Dolske reported that the new asynchronous Authorization Prompt (HTTP username and password) was not always attached to the correct window. Although we have not demonstrated this, it may be possible for a malicious page to convince a user to open a new tab or popup to a trusted service and then have the HTTP authorization prompt from the malicious page appear to be the login prompt for the trusted page. This potential attack is greatly mitigated by the fact that very few websites use HTTP authorization, preferring instead to use web forms and cookies (CVE-2010-0172).

Unspecified vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x through 3.5.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) and possibly have unknown other impact via vectors that might involve compressed data, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-1028 (CVE-2010-1122).

Mozilla developers identified and fixed several stability bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these crashes showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code (CVE-2010-0173, CVE-2010-0174)

Security researcher regenrecht reported via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative that a select event handler for XUL tree items could be called after the tree item was deleted. This results in the execution of previously freed memory which an attacker could use to crash a victim's browser and run arbitrary code on the victim's computer (CVE-2010-0175).

Security researcher regenrecht reported via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative an error in the way <option> elements are inserted into a XUL tree <optgroup>. In certain cases, the number of references to an <option> element is under-counted so that when the element is deleted, a live pointer to its old location is kept around and may later be used. An attacker could potentially use these conditions to run arbitrary code on a victim's computer (CVE-2010-0176).

Security researcher regenrecht reported via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative an error in the implementation of the window.navigator.plugins object. When a page reloads, the plugins array would reallocate all of its members without checking for existing references to each member. This could result in the deletion of objects for which valid pointers still exist. An attacker could use this vulnerability to crash a victim's browser and run arbitrary code on the victim's machine (CVE-2010-0177).

Security researcher Paul Stone reported that a browser applet could be used to turn a simple mouse click into a drag-and-drop action, potentially resulting in the unintended loading of resources in a user's browser. This behavior could be used twice in succession to first load a privileged chrome: URL in a victim's browser, then load a malicious javascript: URL on top of the same document resulting in arbitrary script execution with chrome privileges (CVE-2010-0178).

Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported that the XMLHttpRequestSpy module in the Firebug add-on was exposing an underlying chrome privilege escalation vulnerability. When the XMLHttpRequestSpy object was created, it would attach various properties of itself to objects defined in web content, which were not being properly wrapped to prevent their exposure to chrome privileged objects. This could result in an attacker running arbitrary JavaScript on a victim's machine, though it required the victim to have Firebug installed, so the overall severity of the issue was determined to be High (CVE-2010-0179).

phpBB developer Henry Sudhof reported that when an image tag points to a resource that redirects to a mailto: URL, the external mail handler application is launched. This issue poses no security threat to users but could create an annoyance when browsing a site that allows users to post arbitrary images (CVE-2010-0181).

Mozilla community member Wladimir Palant reported that XML documents were failing to call certain security checks when loading new content.
This could result in certain resources being loaded that would otherwise violate security policies set by the browser or installed add-ons (CVE-2010-0182).

Note that to benefit from the fix for CVE-2009-3555 added in nss-3.12.6, Firefox 3.6 users will need to set their security.ssl.require_safe_negotiation preference to true. In Mandriva the default setting is false due to problems with some common sites.

Since firefox-3.0.19 is the last 3.0.x release Mandriva opted to provide the latest 3.6.3 version for Mandriva Linux 2008.0/2009.0/2009.1/MES5/2010.0.

Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended Maintenance Program for those products.

Additionally, some packages which require so, have been rebuilt and are being provided as updates.

Update :

Packages for 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended Maintenance Program.

This patch updates Mozilla Firefox from the 3.0 stable branch to the 3.5.9 release.

It includes also following security fixes: MFSA 2010-16: Mozilla developers identified and fixed several stability bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2010:0333 :

Updated SeaMonkey packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

SeaMonkey is an open source Web browser, email and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.

Several use-after-free flaws were found in SeaMonkey. Visiting a web page containing malicious content could result in SeaMonkey executing arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running SeaMonkey.
(CVE-2010-0175, CVE-2010-0176, CVE-2010-0177)

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause SeaMonkey to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2010-0174)

All SeaMonkey users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues. After installing the update, SeaMonkey must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Mozilla Firefox was updated to version 3.5.9 fixing lots of bugs and security issues.

The following security issues were fixed :

  - Mozilla developers identified and fixed several     stability bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and     other Mozilla-based products. Some of these crashes     showed evidence of memory corruption under certain     circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at     least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary     code.

  - Security researcher regenrecht reported via     TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative an error in the     implementation of the window.navigator.plugins object.
    When a page reloads, the plugins array would reallocate     all of its members without checking for existing     references to each member. This could result in the     deletion of objects for which valid pointers still     exist. An attacker could use this vulnerability to crash     a victim's browser and run arbitrary code on the     victim's machine. (MFSA 2010-19 / CVE-2010-0177)

  - Security researcher Paul Stone reported that a browser     applet could be used to turn a simple mouse click into a     drag-and-drop action, potentially resulting in the     unintended loading of resources in a user's browser.
    This behavior could be used twice in succession to first     load a privileged chrome: URL in a victim's browser,     then load a malicious javascript: URL on top of the same     document resulting in arbitrary script execution with     chrome privileges. (MFSA 2010-20 / CVE-2010-0178)

  - Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported that     the XMLHttpRequestSpy module in the Firebug add-on was     exposing an underlying chrome privilege escalation     vulnerability. When the XMLHttpRequestSpy object was     created, it would attach various properties of itself to     objects defined in web content, which were not being     properly wrapped to prevent their exposure to chrome     privileged objects. This could result in an attacker     running arbitrary JavaScript on a victim's machine,     though it required the victim to have Firebug installed,     so the overall severity of the issue was determined to     be High. (MFSA 2010-21 / CVE-2010-0179)

  - Mozilla developers added support in the Network Security     Services module for preventing a type of     man-in-the-middle attack against TLS using forced     renegotiation. (MFSA 2010-22 / CVE-2009-3555)

Note that to benefit from the fix, Firefox 3.6 and Firefox 3.5 users will need to set their security.ssl.require_safe_negotiation preference to true. Firefox 3 does not contain the fix for this issue.

  - phpBB developer Henry Sudhof reported that when an image     tag points to a resource that redirects to a mailto:
    URL, the external mail handler application is launched.
    This issue poses no security threat to users but could     create an annoyance when browsing a site that allows     users to post arbitrary images. (MFSA 2010-23 /     CVE-2010-0181)

  - Mozilla community member Wladimir Palant reported that     XML documents were failing to call certain security     checks when loading new content. This could result in     certain resources being loaded that would otherwise     violate security policies set by the browser or     installed add-ons. (MFSA 2010-24 / CVE-2010-0182)

Updated SeaMonkey packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having critical security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

SeaMonkey is an open source Web browser, email and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.

Several use-after-free flaws were found in SeaMonkey. Visiting a web page containing malicious content could result in SeaMonkey executing arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running SeaMonkey.
(CVE-2010-0175, CVE-2010-0176, CVE-2010-0177)

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause SeaMonkey to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2010-0174)

All SeaMonkey users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues. After installing the update, SeaMonkey must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

This patch updates Mozilla XULRunner 3.0 engine the 1.9.0.19 release.

It includes also following security fixes: MFSA 2010-16: Mozilla developers identified and fixed several stability bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these crashes showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.

Jesse Ruderman and Ehsan Akhgari reported crashes that affected all supported versions of the browser engine. (CVE-2010-0174)

MFSA 2010-17 / CVE-2010-0175: Security researcher regenrecht reported via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative that a select event handler for XUL tree items could be called after the tree item was deleted. This results in the execution of previously freed memory which an attacker could use to crash a victim's browser and run arbitrary code on the victim's computer.

MFSA 2010-18 / CVE-2010-0176: Security researcher regenrecht reported via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative an error in the way <option> elements are inserted into a XUL tree <optgroup>. In certain cases, the number of references to an <option> element is under-counted so that when the element is deleted, a live pointer to its old location is kept around and may later be used. An attacker could potentially use these conditions to run arbitrary code on a victim's computer.
