Exposures project identifies the following problems:

  • CVE-2008-0412
    Jesse Ruderman, Kai Engert, Martijn Wargers, Mats Palmgren and Paul
    Nickerson discovered crashes in the layout engine, which might allow

  • CVE-2008-0413
    Carsten Book, Wesley Garland, Igor Bukanov, moz_bug_r_a4, shutdown,

    vulnerabilities in the file upload control could allow information
    disclosure of local files.
  • CVE-2008-0415

    vulnerabilities in JavaScript handling, which could allow
    privilege escalation.

    be abused by malicious web sites to corrupt existing saved passwords.
  • CVE-2008-0418

    traversal vulnerability in chrome: URI handling could lead to
    information disclosure.
  • CVE-2008-0419
    David Bloom discovered a race condition in the image handling of
    designMode elements, which could lead to information disclosure or
    potentially the execution of arbitrary code.
  • CVE-2008-0591

    dialogs (which disable dialog elements until a timeout is reached)
    could be bypassed by window focus changes through JavaScript.
  • CVE-2008-0592
    It was discovered that malformed content declarations of saved
    attachments could prevent a user from opening local files
    with a .txt file name, resulting in minor denial of service.

    Martin Straka discovered that insecure stylesheet handling during
    redirects could lead to information disclosure.
  • CVE-2008-0594
    Emil Ljungdahl and Lars-Olof Moilanen discovered that phishing
    protections could be bypassed with <div> elements.

The old stable distribution (sarge) doesn’t contain xulrunner.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.8.0.15~pre080131b-0etch1.

We recommend that you upgrade your xulrunner packages.
