Mozilla Firefox Multiple Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities Aug-09 (Linux). Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities in Mozilla Firefox allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, conduct phishing attacks, and cause Denial of Service, impacting Firefox versions before 3.0.13 or 3.5 before 3.5.2 on Linux. Exploitable vectors include crafted '.js' and '.ogg' files, unspecified vectors, and invalid characters in crafted URLs. Upgrade to Firefox version 3.0.13/3.5.2

  - Error in 'js_watch_set()' function in js/src/jsdbgapi.cpp in the JavaScript
    engine which can be exploited via a crafted '.js' file.
  - Error in 'libvorbis()' which is used in the application can be exploited
    via a crafted '.ogg' file.
  - Error in 'TraceRecorder::snapshot()' function in js/src/jstracer.cpp and
    other unspecified vectors.
  - Error in 'window.open()' which fails to sanitise the invalid character in
    the crafted URL. This allows remote attackers to spoof the address bar,
    and possibly conduct phishing attacks, via a crafted web page that calls
    window.open with an invalid character in the URL, makes document.write
    calls to the resulting object, and then calls the stop method during the
    loading of the error page.";
