Updated firefox packages that fix several security bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser.

Several flaws were found in the way in which Firefox processed certain malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2007-5338, CVE-2007-5339, CVE-2007-5340)

Several flaws were found in the way in which Firefox displayed malformed web content. A web page containing specially crafted content could potentially trick a user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2007-1095, CVE-2007-3844, CVE-2007-3511, CVE-2007-5334)

A flaw was found in the Firefox sftp protocol handler. A malicious web page could access data from a remote sftp site, possibly stealing sensitive user data. (CVE-2007-5337)

A request-splitting flaw was found in the way in which Firefox generates a digest authentication request. If a user opened a specially crafted URL, it was possible to perform cross-site scripting attacks, web cache poisoning, or other, similar exploits.
(CVE-2007-2292)

All users of Firefox are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches that correct these issues.

Updated SeaMonkey packages that fix several security bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, and 4.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

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

Several flaws were found in the way in which SeaMonkey processed certain malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause SeaMonkey to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2007-5338, CVE-2007-5339, CVE-2007-5340)

Several flaws were found in the way in which SeaMonkey displayed malformed web content. A web page containing specially crafted content could potentially trick a user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2007-1095, CVE-2007-3844, CVE-2007-3511, CVE-2007-5334)

(CVE-2007-2292)

Users of SeaMonkey are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain backported patches that correct these issues.

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

By leveraging browser flaws, users could be fooled into possibly surrendering sensitive information (CVE-2007-1095, CVE-2007-3511, CVE-2007-3844, CVE-2007-5334).

Malformed web content could result in the execution of arbitrary commands (CVE-2007-5338, CVE-2007-5339, CVE-2007-5340).

Digest Authentication requests can be used to conduct a response splitting attack (CVE-2007-2292).

The sftp protocol handler could be used to view the contents of arbitrary local files (CVE-2007-5337).

Users of SeaMonkey are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain patches that correct these issues.

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

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Iceweasel web browser, an unbranded version of the Firefox browser. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2007-3844     'moz_bug_r_a4' discovered that a regression in the     handling of'about:blank' windows used by addons may lead     to an attacker being able to modify the content of     websites.

  - CVE-2007-3845     Jesper Johansson discovered that missing sanitising of     double-quotes and spaces in URIs passed to external     programs may allow an attacker to pass arbitrary     arguments to the helper program if the user is tricked     into opening a malformed web page.

The Mozilla products in the oldstable distribution (sarge) are no longer supported with security updates.
