Package : iceweasel
Vulnerability : several
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2008-2798 CVE-2008-2799 CVE-2008-2800 CVE-2008-2801 CVE-2008-2802 CVE-2008-2803 CVE-2008-2805 CVE-2008-2807 CVE-2008-2808 CVE-2008-2809 CVE-2008-2811

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

CVE-2008-2798

Devon Hubbard, Jesse Ruderman and Martijn Wargers discovered
crashes in the layout engine, which might allow the execution of
arbitrary code.

CVE-2008-2799

Igor Bukanov, Jesse Ruderman and Gary Kwong discovered crashes in
the Javascript engine, which might allow the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2008-2800

"moz_bug_r_a4" discovered several cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

CVE-2008-2801

Collin Jackson and Adam Barth discovered that Javascript code
could be executed in the context or signed JAR archives.

CVE-2008-2802

"moz_bug_r_a4" discovered that XUL documements can escalate
privileges by accessing the pre-compiled "fastload" file.

CVE-2008-2803

"moz_bug_r_a4" discovered that missing input sanitising in the
mozIJSSubScriptLoader.loadSubScript() function could lead to the
execution of arbitrary code. Iceweasel itself is not affected, but
some addons are.

CVE-2008-2805

Claudio Santambrogio discovered that missing access validation in
DOM parsing allows malicious web sites to force the browser to
upload local files to the server, which could lead to information
disclosure.

CVE-2008-2807

Daniel Glazman discovered that a programming error in the code for
parsing .properties files could lead to memory content being
exposed to addons, which could lead to information disclosure.

CVE-2008-2808

Masahiro Yamada discovered that file URLS in directory listings
were insufficiently escaped.

CVE-2008-2809

John G. Myers, Frank Benkstein and Nils Toedtmann discovered that
alternate names on self-signed certificates were handled
insufficiently, which could lead to spoofings secure connections.

CVE-2008-2811

Greg McManus discovered discovered a crash in the block reflow
code, which might allow the execution of arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.0.0.15-0etch1.

Iceweasel from the unstable distribution (sid) links dynamically
against the xulrunner library.

We recommend that you upgrade your iceweasel package.
