Description

This update brings the Mozilla XULRunner engine to version 1.9.1.15, fixing various bugs and security issues.

The following security issues were fixed :

  • 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. References. (MFSA 2010-64)

    Paul Nickerson, Jesse Ruderman, Olli Pettay, Igor Bukanov and Josh Soref reported memory safety problems that affected Firefox 3.6 and Firefox 3.5.

  • Memory safety bugs - Firefox 3.6, Firefox 3.5

  • Gary Kwong, Martijn Wargers and Siddharth Agarwal reported memory safety problems that affected Firefox 3.6 only. (CVE-2010-3176)

  • Memory safety bugs - Firefox 3.6

  • CVE-2010-3175

  • Security researcher Alexander Miller reported that passing an excessively long string to document.write could cause text rendering routines to end up in an inconsistent state with sections of stack memory being overwritten with the string data. An attacker could use this flaw to crash a victim's browser and potentially run arbitrary code on their computer. (MFSA 2010-65 / CVE-2010-3179)

  • Security researcher Sergey Glazunov reported that it was possible to access the locationbar property of a window object after it had been closed. Since the closed window's memory could have been subsequently reused by the system it was possible that an attempt to access the locationbar property could result in the execution of attacker-controlled memory. (MFSA 2010-66 / CVE-2010-3180)

  • Security researcher regenrecht reported via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative that when window.lookupGetter is called with no arguments the code assumes the top JavaScript stack value is a property name. Since there were no arguments passed into the function, the top value could represent uninitialized memory or a pointer to a previously freed JavaScript object. Under such circumstances the value is passed to another subroutine which calls through the dangling pointer, potentially executing attacker-controlled memory. (MFSA 2010-67 / CVE-2010-3183)

  • Google security researcher Robert Swiecki reported that functions used by the Gopher parser to convert text to HTML tags could be exploited to turn text into executable JavaScript. If an attacker could create a file or directory on a Gopher server with the encoded script as part of its name the script would then run in a victim's browser within the context of the site. (MFSA 2010-68 / CVE-2010-3177)

  • Security researcher Eduardo Vela Nava reported that if a web page opened a new window and used a javascript: URL to make a modal call, such as alert(), then subsequently navigated the page to a different domain, once the modal call returned the opener of the window could get access to objects in the navigated window. This is a violation of the same-origin policy and could be used by an attacker to steal information from another web site. (MFSA 2010-69 / CVE-2010-3178)

  • Security researcher Richard Moore reported that when an SSL certificate was created with a common name containing a wildcard followed by a partial IP address a valid SSL connection could be established with a server whose IP address matched the wildcard range by browsing directly to the IP address. It is extremely unlikely that such a certificate would be issued by a Certificate Authority. (MFSA 2010-70 / CVE-2010-3170)

  • Dmitri Gribenko reported that the script used to launch Mozilla applications on Linux was effectively including the current working directory in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. If an attacker was able to place into the current working directory a malicious shared library with the same name as a library that the bootstrapping script depends on the attacker could have their library loaded instead of the legitimate library. (MFSA 2010-71 / CVE-2010-3182)

  • Morten KrÃ¥kvik of Telenor SOC reported an exploit targeting particular versions of Firefox 3.6 on Windows XP that Telenor found while investigating an intrusion attempt on a customer network. The underlying vulnerability, however, was present on both the Firefox 3.5 and Firefox 3.6 development branches and affected all supported platforms. (MFSA 2010-73 / CVE-2010-3765)
