The installed version of Firefox is earlier than 15.0 and thus, is potentially affected by the following security issues :

  - An error exists related to 'Object.defineProperty'     and the location object that could allow cross-site     scripting attacks. (CVE-2012-1956)

  - Unspecified memory safety issues exist. (CVE-2012-1970,     CVE-2012-1971)

  - Multiple use-after-free errors exist. (CVE-2012-1972,     CVE-2012-1973, CVE-2012-1974, CVE-2012-1975,     CVE-2012-1976, CVE-2012-3956, CVE-2012-3957,     CVE-2012-3958, CVE-2012-3959, CVE-2012-3960,     CVE-2012-3961, CVE-2012-3962, CVE-2012-3963,     CVE-2012-3964)

  - An error exists related to 'about:newtab' and the     browser's history. This error can allow a newly opened     tab to further open a new window and navigate to the     privileged 'about:newtab' page leading to possible     privilege escalation. (CVE-2012-3965)

  - An error exists related to bitmap (BMP) and icon (ICO)     file decoding that can lead to memory corruption     causing application crashes and potentially arbitrary     code execution. (CVE-2012-3966)

  - A use-after-free error exists related to WebGL shaders.
    (CVE-2012-3968)

  - A buffer overflow exists related to SVG filters.
    (CVE-2012-3969)

  - A 'Graphite 2' library memory corruption error exists.
    (CVE-2012-3971)

  - An XSLT out-of-bounds read error exists related to     'format-number'. (CVE-2012-3972)

  - Remote debugging is possible even when disabled and the     'HTTPMonitor' extension is enabled. (CVE-2012-3973)

  - The DOM parser can unintentionally load linked     resources in extensions. (CVE-2012-3975)

  - Incorrect SSL certificate information can be displayed     in the address bar when two 'onLocationChange' events     fire out of order. (CVE-2012-3976)

  - Security checks related to location objects can be     bypassed if crafted calls are made to the browser     chrome code. (CVE-2012-3978)

  - Calling 'eval' in the web console can allow injected     code to be executed with browser chrome privileges.
    (CVE-2012-3980)

  - SPDY's request header compression leads to information     leakage, which can allow private data such as session     cookies to be extracted, even over an SSL connection.
    (CVE-2012-4930)

Gary Kwong, Christian Holler, Jesse Ruderman, Steve Fink, Bob Clary, Andrew Sutherland, Jason Smith, John Schoenick, Vladimir Vukicevic and Daniel Holbert discovered memory safety issues affecting Firefox. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2012-1970, CVE-2012-1971)

Abhishek Arya discovered multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2012-1972, CVE-2012-1973, CVE-2012-1974, CVE-2012-1975, CVE-2012-1976, CVE-2012-3956, CVE-2012-3957, CVE-2012-3958, CVE-2012-3959, CVE-2012-3960, CVE-2012-3961, CVE-2012-3962, CVE-2012-3963, CVE-2012-3964)

Mariusz Mlynsk discovered that it is possible to shadow the location object using Object.defineProperty. This could potentially result in a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against plugins. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing a specially crafted page, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents or steal confidential data within the same domain.
(CVE-2012-1956)

Mariusz Mlynski discovered an escalation of privilege vulnerability through about:newtab. This could possibly lead to potentially code execution with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox.
(CVE-2012-3965)

Frederic Hoguin discovered that bitmap format images with a negative height could potentially result in memory corruption. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2012-3966)

It was discovered that Firefox's WebGL implementation was vulnerable to multiple memory safety issues. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox.
(CVE-2012-3967, CVE-2012-3968)

Arthur Gerkis discovered multiple memory safety issues in Firefox's Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) implementation. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2012-3969, CVE-2012-3970)

Christoph Diehl discovered multiple memory safety issues in the bundled Graphite 2 library. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox. (CVE-2012-3971)

Nicolas Gregoire discovered an out-of-bounds read in the format-number feature of XSLT. This could potentially cause inaccurate formatting of numbers and information leakage. (CVE-2012-3972)

Mark Goodwin discovered that under certain circumstances, Firefox's developer tools could allow remote debugging even when disabled.
(CVE-2012-3973)

It was discovered that when the DOMParser is used to parse text/html data in a Firefox extension, linked resources within this HTML data will be loaded. If the data being parsed in the extension is untrusted, it could lead to information leakage and potentially be combined with other attacks to become exploitable. (CVE-2012-3975)

Mark Poticha discovered that under certain circumstances incorrect SSL certificate information can be displayed on the addressbar, showing the SSL data for a previous site while another has been loaded. This could potentially be used for phishing attacks. (CVE-2012-3976)

It was discovered that, in some instances, certain security checks in the location object could be bypassed. This could allow for the loading of restricted content and can potentially be combined with other issues to become exploitable. (CVE-2012-3978)

Colby Russell discovered that eval in the web console can execute injected code with chrome privileges, leading to the running of malicious code in a privileged context. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted page, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Firefox.
(CVE-2012-3980).

Security issues were identified and fixed in mozilla thunderbird :

Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products.
Some of these bugs 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-2012-1971).

In general these flaws cannot be exploited through email in the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products because scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in browser or browser-like contexts in those products (CVE-2012-1970).

Security researcher Abhishek Arya (Inferno) of Google Chrome Security Team discovered a series of use-after-free issues using the Address Sanitizer tool. Many of these issues are potentially exploitable, allowing for remote code execution (CVE-2012-1972, CVE-2012-1973, CVE-2012-1974, CVE-2012-1975, CVE-2012-1976, CVE-2012-3956, CVE-2012-3957, CVE-2012-3958, CVE-2012-3959, CVE-2012-3960, CVE-2012-3961, CVE-2012-3962, CVE-2012-3963, CVE-2012-3964).

Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski reported that it is possible to shadow the location object using Object.defineProperty. This could be used to confuse the current location to plugins, allowing for possible cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks (CVE-2012-1956).

Security researcher Frederic Hoguin reported two related issues with the decoding of bitmap (.BMP) format images embedded in icon (.ICO) format files. When processing a negative height header value for the bitmap image, a memory corruption can be induced, allowing an attacker to write random memory and cause a crash. This crash may be potentially exploitable (CVE-2012-3966).

Security researcher miaubiz used the Address Sanitizer tool to discover two WebGL issues. The first issue is a use-after-free when WebGL shaders are called after being destroyed. The second issue exposes a problem with Mesa drivers on Linux, leading to a potentially exploitable crash (CVE-2012-3968, CVE-2012-3967).

Security researcher Arthur Gerkis used the Address Sanitizer tool to find two issues involving Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files. The first issue is a buffer overflow in Gecko's SVG filter code when the sum of two values is too large to be stored as a signed 32-bit integer, causing the function to write past the end of an array. The second issue is a use-after-free when an element with a requiredFeatures attribute is moved between documents. In that situation, the internal representation of the requiredFeatures value could be freed prematurely. Both issues are potentially exploitable (CVE-2012-3969, CVE-2012-3970).

Using the Address Sanitizer tool, Mozilla security researcher Christoph Diehl discovered two memory corruption issues involving the Graphite 2 library used in Mozilla products. Both of these issues can cause a potentially exploitable crash. These problems were fixed in the Graphite 2 library, which has been updated for Mozilla products (CVE-2012-3971).

Security research Nicolas Gregoire used the Address Sanitizer tool to discover an out-of-bounds read in the format-number feature of XSLT, which can cause inaccurate formatting of numbers and information leakage. This is not directly exploitable (CVE-2012-3972).

Security researcher Masato Kinugawa reported that if a crafted executable is placed in the root partition on a Windows file system, the Firefox and Thunderbird installer will launch this program after a standard installation instead of Firefox or Thunderbird, running this program with the user's privileges (CVE-2012-3974).

Security researcher vsemozhetbyt reported that when the DOMParser is used to parse text/html data in a Firefox extension, linked resources within this HTML data will be loaded. If the data being parsed in the extension is untrusted, it could lead to information leakage and can potentially be combined with other attacks to become exploitable (CVE-2012-3975).

Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported that certain security checks in the location object can be bypassed if chrome code is called content in a specific manner. This allowed for the loading of restricted content. This can be combined with other issues to become potentially exploitable (CVE-2012-3978).

Security researcher Colby Russell discovered that eval in the web console can execute injected code with chrome privileges, leading to the running of malicious code in a privileged context. This allows for arbitrary code execution through a malicious web page if the web console is invoked by the user (CVE-2012-3980).

The mozilla thunderbird packages has been upgraded to the latest version which is unaffected by these security flaws.

Updated firefox packages that fix several security issues and one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.

This update also fixes the following bug :

* In certain environments, storing personal Firefox configuration files (~/.mozilla/) on an NFS share, such as when your home directory is on a NFS share, led to Firefox functioning incorrectly, for example, navigation buttons not working as expected, and bookmarks not saving. This update adds a new configuration option, storage.nfs_filesystem, that can be used to resolve this issue.

If you experience this issue :

1) Start Firefox.

2) Type 'about:config' (without quotes) into the URL bar and press the Enter key.

3) If prompted with 'This might void your warranty!', click the 'I'll be careful, I promise!' button.

4) Right-click in the Preference Name list. In the menu that opens, select New -> Boolean.

5) Type 'storage.nfs_filesystem' (without quotes) for the preference name and then click the OK button.

6) Select 'true' for the boolean value and then press the OK button.
(BZ#809571, BZ#816234)

All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Firefox version 10.0.8 ESR, which corrects these issues. After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2012:1351 advisory.

    Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

    Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed content. Malicious     content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary     code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2012-3982,     CVE-2012-3988, CVE-2012-3990, CVE-2012-3995, CVE-2012-4179, CVE-2012-4180,     CVE-2012-4181, CVE-2012-4182, CVE-2012-4183, CVE-2012-4185, CVE-2012-4186,     CVE-2012-4187, CVE-2012-4188)

    Two flaws in Thunderbird could allow malicious content to bypass intended     restrictions, possibly leading to information disclosure, or Thunderbird     executing arbitrary code. Note that the information disclosure issue could     possibly be combined with other flaws to achieve arbitrary code execution.

Security issues were identified and fixed in mozilla firefox :

Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products.
Some of these bugs 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-2012-1971).

Security researcher Abhishek Arya (Inferno) of Google Chrome Security Team discovered a series of use-after-free issues using the Address Sanitizer tool. Many of these issues are potentially exploitable, allowing for remote code execution (CVE-2012-1972, CVE-2012-1973, CVE-2012-1974, CVE-2012-1975, CVE-2012-1976, CVE-2012-3956, CVE-2012-3957, CVE-2012-3958, CVE-2012-3959, CVE-2012-3960, CVE-2012-3961, CVE-2012-3962, CVE-2012-3963, CVE-2012-3964).

Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski reported that it is possible to shadow the location object using Object.defineProperty. This could be used to confuse the current location to plugins, allowing for possible cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks (CVE-2012-1956).

Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski reported that when a page opens a new tab, a subsequent window can then be opened that can be navigated to about:newtab, a chrome privileged page. Once about:newtab is loaded, the special context can potentially be used to escalate privilege, allowing for arbitrary code execution on the local system in a maliciously crafted attack (CVE-2012-3965).

Security researcher Frederic Hoguin reported two related issues with the decoding of bitmap (.BMP) format images embedded in icon (.ICO) format files. When processing a negative height header value for the bitmap image, a memory corruption can be induced, allowing an attacker to write random memory and cause a crash. This crash may be potentially exploitable (CVE-2012-3966).

Security researcher miaubiz used the Address Sanitizer tool to discover two WebGL issues. The first issue is a use-after-free when WebGL shaders are called after being destroyed. The second issue exposes a problem with Mesa drivers on Linux, leading to a potentially exploitable crash (CVE-2012-3968, CVE-2012-3967).

Security researcher Arthur Gerkis used the Address Sanitizer tool to find two issues involving Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files. The first issue is a buffer overflow in Gecko's SVG filter code when the sum of two values is too large to be stored as a signed 32-bit integer, causing the function to write past the end of an array. The second issue is a use-after-free when an element with a requiredFeatures attribute is moved between documents. In that situation, the internal representation of the requiredFeatures value could be freed prematurely. Both issues are potentially exploitable (CVE-2012-3969, CVE-2012-3970).

Using the Address Sanitizer tool, Mozilla security researcher Christoph Diehl discovered two memory corruption issues involving the Graphite 2 library used in Mozilla products. Both of these issues can cause a potentially exploitable crash. These problems were fixed in the Graphite 2 library, which has been updated for Mozilla products (CVE-2012-3971).

Security research Nicolas Gregoire used the Address Sanitizer tool to discover an out-of-bounds read in the format-number feature of XSLT, which can cause inaccurate formatting of numbers and information leakage. This is not directly exploitable (CVE-2012-3972).

Mozilla security researcher Mark Goodwin discovered an issue with the Firefox developer tools' debugger. If remote debugging is disabled, but the experimental HTTPMonitor extension has been installed and enabled, a remote user can connect to and use the remote debugging service through the port used by HTTPMonitor. A remote-enabled flag has been added to resolve this problem and close the port unless debugging is explicitly enabled (CVE-2012-3973).

Security researcher Masato Kinugawa reported that if a crafted executable is placed in the root partition on a Windows file system, the Firefox and Thunderbird installer will launch this program after a standard installation instead of Firefox or Thunderbird, running this program with the user's privileges (CVE-2012-3974).

Security researcher vsemozhetbyt reported that when the DOMParser is used to parse text/html data in a Firefox extension, linked resources within this HTML data will be loaded. If the data being parsed in the extension is untrusted, it could lead to information leakage and can potentially be combined with other attacks to become exploitable (CVE-2012-3975).

Security researcher Mark Poticha reported an issue where incorrect SSL certificate information can be displayed on the addressbar, showing the SSL data for a previous site while another has been loaded. This is caused by two onLocationChange events being fired out of the expected order, leading to the displayed certificate data to not be updated. This can be used for phishing attacks by allowing the user to input form or other data on a newer, attacking, site while the credentials of an older site appear on the addressbar (CVE-2012-3976).

Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported that certain security checks in the location object can be bypassed if chrome code is called content in a specific manner. This allowed for the loading of restricted content. This can be combined with other issues to become potentially exploitable (CVE-2012-3978).

Security researcher Colby Russell discovered that eval in the web console can execute injected code with chrome privileges, leading to the running of malicious code in a privileged context. This allows for arbitrary code execution through a malicious web page if the web console is invoked by the user (CVE-2012-3980).

The mozilla firefox packages has been upgraded to the latest versions which is unaffected by these security flaws.

Additionally the sqlite3 packages has been upgraded to the 3.7.13 version as firefox 15.0 requires the 3.7.12.1+ version.

USN-1551-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Thunderbird. The new package caused a regression in the message editor and certain performance regressions as well. This update fixes the problems.

Gary Kwong, Christian Holler, Jesse Ruderman, Steve Fink, Bob Clary, Andrew Sutherland, Jason Smith, John Schoenick, Vladimir Vukicevic and Daniel Holbert discovered memory safety issues affecting Thunderbird.
If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted E-Mail, an attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2012-1970, CVE-2012-1971)

Abhishek Arya discovered multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted E-Mail, an attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2012-1972, CVE-2012-1973, CVE-2012-1974, CVE-2012-1975, CVE-2012-1976, CVE-2012-3956, CVE-2012-3957, CVE-2012-3958, CVE-2012-3959, CVE-2012-3960, CVE-2012-3961, CVE-2012-3962, CVE-2012-3963, CVE-2012-3964)

Mariusz Mlynsk discovered that it is possible to shadow the location object using Object.defineProperty. This could potentially result in a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against plugins. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing a specially crafted E-Mail, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents or steal confidential data within the same domain.
(CVE-2012-1956)

Frederic Hoguin discovered that bitmap format images with a negative height could potentially result in memory corruption. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2012-3966)

It was discovered that Thunderbird's WebGL implementation was vulnerable to multiple memory safety issues. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted E-Mail, an attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2012-3967, CVE-2012-3968)

Arthur Gerkis discovered multiple memory safety issues in Thunderbird's Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) implementation.
If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird.
(CVE-2012-3969, CVE-2012-3970)

Christoph Diehl discovered multiple memory safety issues in the bundled Graphite 2 library. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted E-Mail, an attacker could exploit these to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2012-3971)

Nicolas Gregoire discovered an out-of-bounds read in the format-number feature of XSLT. This could potentially cause inaccurate formatting of numbers and information leakage.
(CVE-2012-3972)

It was discovered that when the DOMParser is used to parse text/html data in a Thunderbird extension, linked resources within this HTML data will be loaded. If the data being parsed in the extension is untrusted, it could lead to information leakage and potentially be combined with other attacks to become exploitable. (CVE-2012-3975)

It was discovered that, in some instances, certain security checks in the location object could be bypassed. This could allow for the loading of restricted content and can potentially be combined with other issues to become exploitable. (CVE-2012-3978)

Colby Russell discovered that eval in the web console can execute injected code with chrome privileges, leading to the running of malicious code in a privileged context. If the user were tricked into opening a specially crafted E-Mail, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash, or potentially execute code with the privileges of the user invoking Thunderbird. (CVE-2012-3980).

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.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201301-01 (Mozilla Products: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox,       Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, NSS, GNU IceCat, and XULRunner. Please review the       CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web       page or email, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a       Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able       to perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks, obtain sensitive information,       bypass restrictions and protection mechanisms, force file downloads,       conduct XML injection attacks, conduct XSS attacks, bypass the Same       Origin Policy, spoof URL&rsquo;s for phishing attacks, trigger a vertical       scroll, spoof the location bar, spoof an SSL indicator, modify the       browser&rsquo;s font, conduct clickjacking attacks, or have other unspecified       impact.
    A local attacker could gain escalated privileges, obtain sensitive       information, or replace an arbitrary downloaded file.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
