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

  • CVE-2009-1392
    Several issues in the browser engine have been discovered, which can
    result in the execution of arbitrary code. (MFSA 2009-24)
  • CVE-2009-1832
    It is possible to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving “double
    frame construction.” (MFSA 2009-24)
  • CVE-2009-1833
    Jesse Ruderman and Adam Hauner discovered a problem in the JavaScript
    engine, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
    (MFSA 2009-24)
  • CVE-2009-1834
    Pavel Cvrcek discovered a potential issue leading to a spoofing attack
    on the location bar related to certain invalid unicode characters.
    (MFSA 2009-25)
  • CVE-2009-1835
    Gregory Fleischer discovered that it is possible to read arbitrary
    cookies via a crafted HTML document. (MFSA 2009-26)
  • CVE-2009-1836
    Shuo Chen, Ziqing Mao, Yi-Min Wang and Ming Zhang reported a potential
    man-in-the-middle attack, when using a proxy due to insufficient checks
    on a certain proxy response. (MFSA 2009-27)
  • CVE-2009-1837
    Jakob Balle and Carsten Eiram reported a race condition in the
    NPObjWrapper_NewResolve function that can be used to execute arbitrary
    code. (MFSA 2009-28)
  • CVE-2009-1838
    moz_bug_r_a4 discovered that it is possible to execute arbitrary
    JavaScript with chrome privileges due to an error in the
    garbage-collection implementation. (MFSA 2009-29)
  • CVE-2009-1839
    Adam Barth and Collin Jackson reported a potential privilege escalation
    when loading a file::resource via the location bar. (MFSA 2009-30)
  • CVE-2009-1840
    Wladimir Palant discovered that it is possible to bypass access
    restrictions due to a lack of content policy check, when loading a
    script file into a XUL document. (MFSA 2009-31)
  • CVE-2009-1841
    moz_bug_r_a4 reported that it is possible for scripts from page content
    to run with elevated privileges and thus potentially executing arbitrary
    code with the object’s chrome privileges. (MFSA 2009-32)

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.9.0.11-0lenny1.

As indicated in the Etch release notes, security support for the
Mozilla products in the oldstable distribution needed to be stopped
before the end of the regular Etch security maintenance life cycle.
You are strongly encouraged to upgrade to stable or switch to a still
supported browser.

For the testing distribution (squeeze), these problems will be fixed
soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.9.0.11-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your xulrunner packages.
