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 processing of some malformed web content. A web page containing such malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2008-1233, CVE-2008-1235, CVE-2008-1236, CVE-2008-1237)

Several flaws were found in the display of malformed web content. A web page containing specially crafted content could, potentially, trick a Firefox user into surrendering sensitive information.
(CVE-2008-1234, CVE-2008-1238, CVE-2008-1241)

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

This update brings Mozilla Firefox to security update version 2.0.0.13

Following security problems were fixed :

  - XUL popup spoofing variant (cross-tab popups). (MFSA     2008-19 / CVE-2008-1241)

  - Java socket connection to any local port via     LiveConnect. (MFSA 2008-18 / CVE-2008-1195 /     CVE-2008-1240)

  - Privacy issue with SSL Client Authentication. (MFSA     2008-17 / CVE-2007-4879)

  - HTTP Referrer spoofing with malformed URLs. (MFSA     2008-16 / CVE-2008-1238)

  - Crashes with evidence of memory corruption     (rv:1.8.1.13). (MFSA 2008-15 / CVE-2008-1236 /     CVE-2008-1237)

  - JavaScript privilege escalation and arbitrary code     execution. (MFSA 2008-14 / CVE-2008-1233 / CVE-2008-1234     / CVE-2008-1235)

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-2007-4879     Peter Brodersen and Alexander Klink discovered that the     autoselection of SSL client certificates could lead to     users being tracked, resulting in a loss of privacy.

  - CVE-2008-1233     'moz_bug_r_a4' discovered that variants of CVE-2007-3738     and CVE-2007-5338 allow the execution of arbitrary code     through XPCNativeWrapper.

  - CVE-2008-1234     'moz_bug_r_a4' discovered that insecure handling of     event handlers could lead to cross-site scripting.

  - CVE-2008-1235     Boris Zbarsky, Johnny Stenback and 'moz_bug_r_a4'     discovered that incorrect principal handling could lead     to cross-site scripting and the execution of arbitrary     code.

  - CVE-2008-1236     Tom Ferris, Seth Spitzer, Martin Wargers, John Daggett     and Mats Palmgren discovered crashes in the layout     engine, which might allow the execution of arbitrary     code.

  - CVE-2008-1237     'georgi', 'tgirmann' and Igor Bukanov discovered crashes     in the JavaScript engine, which might allow the     execution of arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2008-1238     Gregory Fleischer discovered that HTTP Referrer headers     were handled incorrectly in combination with URLs     containing Basic Authentication credentials with empty     usernames, resulting in potential Cross-Site Request     Forgery attacks.

  - CVE-2008-1240     Gregory Fleischer discovered that web content fetched     through the jar: protocol can use Java to connect to     arbitrary ports. This is only an issue in combination     with the non-free Java plugin.

  - CVE-2008-1241     Chris Thomas discovered that background tabs could     generate XUL popups overlaying the current tab,     resulting in potential spoofing attacks.

The Mozilla products from the old stable distribution (sarge) are no longer supported.

This update brings Mozilla SeaMonkey to security update version 1.1.9

Various flaws were discovered in the JavaScript engine. If a user had JavaScript enabled and were tricked into opening a malicious email, an attacker could escalate privileges within Thunderbird, perform cross-site scripting attacks and/or execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. (CVE-2008-1233, CVE-2008-1234, CVE-2008-1235)

Several problems were discovered in Thunderbird which could lead to crashes and memory corruption. If a user had JavaScript enabled and were tricked into opening a malicious email, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. (CVE-2008-1236, CVE-2008-1237).

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client. Several flaws were found in the processing of some malformed HTML mail content. An HTML mail message containing such malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2008-1233, CVE-2008-1235, CVE-2008-1236, CVE-2008-1237) Several flaws were found in the display of malformed web content. An HTML mail message containing specially crafted content could, potentially, trick a user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-1234) A flaw was found in the processing of malformed JavaScript content. An HTML mail message containing such malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird.
(CVE-2008-1380) Note: JavaScript support is disabled by default in Thunderbird; the above issue is not exploitable unless JavaScript is enabled. All Thunderbird users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues.

Various MozillaThunderbird fixes were backported to the 10.2 version (1.5.0.x).

  + MFSA 2008-15/CVE-2008-1236 and CVE-2008-1237: Crashes     with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.8.1.13)

  + MFSA 2008-14/CVE-2008-1233, CVE-2008-1234, and     CVE-2008-1235: JavaScript privilege escalation and     arbitrary code execution.

JavaScript is not default enabled in our Thunderbird builds though.
