Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xulrunner, a runtime environment for XUL applications. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  • CVE-2008-0016 Justin Schuh, Tom Cross and Peter Williams discovered a buffer overflow in the parser for UTF-8 URLs, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

  • CVE-2008-3835 ‘moz_bug_r_a4’ discovered that the same-origin check in nsXMLDocument::OnChannelRedirect() could by bypassed.

  • CVE-2008-3836 ‘moz_bug_r_a4’ discovered that several vulnerabilities in feedWriter could lead to Chrome privilege escalation.

  • CVE-2008-3837 Paul Nickerson discovered that an attacker could move windows during a mouse click, resulting in unwanted action triggered by drag-and-drop.

  • CVE-2008-4058 ‘moz_bug_r_a4’ discovered a vulnerability which can result in Chrome privilege escalation through XPCNativeWrappers.

  • CVE-2008-4059 ‘moz_bug_r_a4’ discovered a vulnerability which can result in Chrome privilege escalation through XPCNativeWrappers.

  • CVE-2008-4060 Olli Pettay and ‘moz_bug_r_a4’ discovered a Chrome privilege escalation vulnerability in XSLT handling.

  • CVE-2008-4061 Jesse Ruderman discovered a crash in the layout engine, which might allow the execution of arbitrary code.

  • CVE-2008-4062 Igor Bukanov, Philip Taylor, Georgi Guninski and Antoine Labour discovered crashes in the JavaScript engine, which might allow the execution of arbitrary code.

  • CVE-2008-4065 Dave Reed discovered that some Unicode byte order marks are stripped from JavaScript code before execution, which can result in code being executed, which were otherwise part of a quoted string.

  • CVE-2008-4066 Gareth Heyes discovered that some Unicode surrogate characters are ignored by the HTML parser.

  • CVE-2008-4067 Boris Zbarsky discovered that resource: URls allow directory traversal when using URL-encoded slashes.

  • CVE-2008-4068 Georgi Guninski discovered that resource: URLs could bypass local access restrictions.

  • CVE-2008-4069 Billy Hoffman discovered that the XBM decoder could reveal uninitialised memory.

  • CVE-2008-4582 Liu Die Yu discovered an information leak through local shortcut files.

  • CVE-2008-5012 Georgi Guninski, Michal Zalewski and Chris Evan discovered that the canvas element could be used to bypass same-origin restrictions.

  • CVE-2008-5013 It was discovered that insufficient checks in the Flash plugin glue code could lead to arbitrary code execution.

  • CVE-2008-5014 Jesse Ruderman discovered that a programming error in the window.proto.proto object could lead to arbitrary code execution.

  • CVE-2008-5017 It was discovered that crashes in the layout engine could lead to arbitrary code execution.

  • CVE-2008-5018 It was discovered that crashes in the JavaScript engine could lead to arbitrary code execution.

  • CVE-2008-0017 Justin Schuh discovered that a buffer overflow in http-index-format parser could lead to arbitrary code execution.

  • CVE-2008-5021 It was discovered that a crash in the nsFrameManager might lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

  • CVE-2008-5022 ‘moz_bug_r_a4’ discovered that the same-origin check in nsXMLHttpRequest::NotifyEventListeners() could be bypassed.

  • CVE-2008-5023 Collin Jackson discovered that the -moz-binding property bypasses security checks on codebase principals.

  • CVE-2008-5024 Chris Evans discovered that quote characters were improperly escaped in the default namespace of E4X documents.
