--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-927 2005-09-26 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 4 Name : mozilla Version : 1.7.12 Release : 1.5.1 Summary : Web browser and mail reader Description : Mozilla is an open-source web browser, designed for standards compliance, performance and portability. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Updated mozilla packages that fix several security bugs are now available for Fedora Core 4. This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Fedora Security Response Team. Mozilla is an open source Web browser, advanced email and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor. A bug was found in the way Mozilla processes XBM image files. If a user views a specially crafted XBM file, it becomes possible to execute arbitrary code as the user running Mozilla. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-2701 to this issue. A bug was found in the way Mozilla processes certain Unicode sequences. It may be possible to execute arbitrary code as the user running Mozilla, if the user views a specially crafted Unicode sequence. (CAN-2005-2702) A bug was found in the way Mozilla makes XMLHttp requests. It is possible that a malicious web page could leverage this flaw to exploit other proxy or server flaws from the victim's machine. It is also possible that this flaw could be leveraged to send XMLHttp requests to hosts other than the originator; the default behavior of the browser is to disallow this. (CAN-2005-2703) A bug was found in the way Mozilla implemented its XBL interface. It may be possible for a malicious web page to create an XBL binding in a way that would allow arbitrary JavaScript execution with chrome permissions. Please note that in Mozilla 1.7.10 this issue is not directly exploitable and would need to leverage other unknown exploits. (CAN-2005-2704) An integer overflow bug was found in Mozilla's JavaScript engine. Under favorable conditions, it may be possible for a malicious web page to execute arbitrary code as the user running Mozilla. (CAN-2005-2705) A bug was found in the way Mozilla displays about: pages. It is possible for a malicious web page to open an about: page, such as about:mozilla, in such a way that it becomes possible to execute JavaScript with chrome privileges. (CAN-2005-2706) A bug was found in the way Mozilla opens new windows. It is possible for a malicious web site to construct a new window without any user interface components, such as the address bar and the status bar. This window could then be used to mislead the user for malicious purposes. (CAN-2005-2707) Users of Mozilla are advised to upgrade to this updated package that contains Mozilla version 1.7.12 and is not vulnerable to these issues. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Thu Sep 22 2005 Christopher Aillon <caillon@xxxxxxxxxx> 37:1.7.12-1.5.1 - Update to 1.7.12, containing fixes for: CAN-2005-2701 CAN-2005-2702 CAN-2005-2703 CAN-2005-2704 CAN-2005-2705 CAN-2005-2706 CAN-2005-2707 CAN-2005-2968 --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/ 15996667d8d7ff6f716f9a3b3fd73a46 SRPMS/mozilla-1.7.12-1.5.1.src.rpm 6e5d4465c6818212dc200884a6772efc ppc/mozilla-1.7.12-1.5.1.ppc.rpm 554fab19cd517dac6af547fc9f8a0cab ppc/mozilla-nspr-1.7.12-1.5.1.ppc.rpm d96547c7855f990aea45008176c94151 ppc/mozilla-nspr-devel-1.7.12-1.5.1.ppc.rpm eb943304ee62ad1c21323d48cffac07f ppc/mozilla-nss-1.7.12-1.5.1.ppc.rpm 388bf012368737e2e9abd8fdae61cd10 ppc/mozilla-nss-devel-1.7.12-1.5.1.ppc.rpm 73a56b8de2ed1ce21ce934d7b4fc0030 ppc/mozilla-devel-1.7.12-1.5.1.ppc.rpm f0e2bb8447868c5310506cdf4e59f610 ppc/mozilla-mail-1.7.12-1.5.1.ppc.rpm b6d8b972a810d6be63c9e49acb311a63 ppc/mozilla-chat-1.7.12-1.5.1.ppc.rpm 19bb5d74ed7f347b0bff67b9e2687426 ppc/mozilla-js-debugger-1.7.12-1.5.1.ppc.rpm 87dc66737ae9ff2d01f0900c02a34c92 ppc/mozilla-dom-inspector-1.7.12-1.5.1.ppc.rpm af43d44627d556682f070afe5b0fcc88 ppc/debug/mozilla-debuginfo-1.7.12-1.5.1.ppc.rpm 7834b3634d54f4ab835c77e247a56b6f x86_64/mozilla-1.7.12-1.5.1.x86_64.rpm 06bf1c0ffd94de4dd3abe534f6c62448 x86_64/mozilla-nspr-1.7.12-1.5.1.x86_64.rpm aaea1e31b0d1818d9165928c716f81d7 x86_64/mozilla-nspr-devel-1.7.12-1.5.1.x86_64.rpm 2986c7d17771826b0ce3802b2322cbef x86_64/mozilla-nss-1.7.12-1.5.1.x86_64.rpm fd477dad54c6b764730db8255854d8c4 x86_64/mozilla-nss-devel-1.7.12-1.5.1.x86_64.rpm fba077cce640223cab879d41e5916c99 x86_64/mozilla-devel-1.7.12-1.5.1.x86_64.rpm 5f8e89073c0fb61e9cfe1f36789a3933 x86_64/mozilla-mail-1.7.12-1.5.1.x86_64.rpm 99932f0cd7bc71c5300f7b83021e8bc5 x86_64/mozilla-chat-1.7.12-1.5.1.x86_64.rpm 891fff494775baeef27bd3137684eeec x86_64/mozilla-js-debugger-1.7.12-1.5.1.x86_64.rpm ac1e58cffbe7b5cb163c056da0a0f282 x86_64/mozilla-dom-inspector-1.7.12-1.5.1.x86_64.rpm 7e0ea761ff2e9caea8c42b082c13f604 x86_64/debug/mozilla-debuginfo-1.7.12-1.5.1.x86_64.rpm 47c89bff509e46e4b54041aac04f2137 x86_64/mozilla-nspr-1.7.12-1.5.1.i386.rpm ae517ab122351d6ada9e9289b1c1ef3d x86_64/mozilla-nss-1.7.12-1.5.1.i386.rpm 9b9ca33577a785f0e36ed2092ed97555 i386/mozilla-1.7.12-1.5.1.i386.rpm 47c89bff509e46e4b54041aac04f2137 i386/mozilla-nspr-1.7.12-1.5.1.i386.rpm 9c409c087a06ccec4ba0b404ca2e1b1d i386/mozilla-nspr-devel-1.7.12-1.5.1.i386.rpm ae517ab122351d6ada9e9289b1c1ef3d i386/mozilla-nss-1.7.12-1.5.1.i386.rpm d74dd6b014102d3a6f9e0fafae217edf i386/mozilla-nss-devel-1.7.12-1.5.1.i386.rpm 4b3cacd4a3c274c008d55aae107d108a i386/mozilla-devel-1.7.12-1.5.1.i386.rpm b24a2919fafa1f4e314e5a26ef65280f i386/mozilla-mail-1.7.12-1.5.1.i386.rpm 86ac5ce35a97c750eeb38764553a7653 i386/mozilla-chat-1.7.12-1.5.1.i386.rpm 74b1fd6aea19fd037e5ccec3c94c70c7 i386/mozilla-js-debugger-1.7.12-1.5.1.i386.rpm 30d339600011964baec08ce5d895f42d i386/mozilla-dom-inspector-1.7.12-1.5.1.i386.rpm d7c08369f13113f9195097969107549e i386/debug/mozilla-debuginfo-1.7.12-1.5.1.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- fedora-announce-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list
