--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2005-932 2005-09-26 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 3 Name : mozilla Version : 1.7.12 Release : 1.3.1 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 3. 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> 37:1.7.12-1.3.1 - 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/3/ 63bd78810cf5b5536353633a747c30a2 SRPMS/mozilla-1.7.12-1.3.1.src.rpm e284cf3bf15bbd75a034403803780f7b x86_64/mozilla-1.7.12-1.3.1.x86_64.rpm 03de6b7b8717b06cd340a4ef24e77968 x86_64/mozilla-nspr-1.7.12-1.3.1.x86_64.rpm 4f0845e48ac3dc090328f8ccc4d05223 x86_64/mozilla-nspr-devel-1.7.12-1.3.1.x86_64.rpm 7592b2aaa765de6b2663dd1e874c92b7 x86_64/mozilla-nss-1.7.12-1.3.1.x86_64.rpm 626844eb2fe11ea77d995774754f9031 x86_64/mozilla-nss-devel-1.7.12-1.3.1.x86_64.rpm 51836f29a3241931115639aafacdbada x86_64/mozilla-devel-1.7.12-1.3.1.x86_64.rpm 5977fc3d3e271f470cde62c3c65654aa x86_64/mozilla-mail-1.7.12-1.3.1.x86_64.rpm 6a8720bf69cd9d5de1e441fa78b11f7d x86_64/mozilla-chat-1.7.12-1.3.1.x86_64.rpm 726a24bc7f7d89f8ecf16425b82f46fc x86_64/mozilla-js-debugger-1.7.12-1.3.1.x86_64.rpm 8365d36d8a9a3ff32214d539ee6e2851 x86_64/mozilla-dom-inspector-1.7.12-1.3.1.x86_64.rpm 6a48abbf3dffac1559bd832727534848 x86_64/debug/mozilla-debuginfo-1.7.12-1.3.1.x86_64.rpm 4b13cf4c6680ffcacef3c32c7216835c x86_64/mozilla-nspr-1.7.12-1.3.1.i386.rpm 7a6d96394cb522bb87fddb8b1f1de2bc x86_64/mozilla-nss-1.7.12-1.3.1.i386.rpm 196301d969606f6b24539fe115b20c85 i386/mozilla-1.7.12-1.3.1.i386.rpm 4b13cf4c6680ffcacef3c32c7216835c i386/mozilla-nspr-1.7.12-1.3.1.i386.rpm 108c926ed91f44c61413323079682120 i386/mozilla-nspr-devel-1.7.12-1.3.1.i386.rpm 7a6d96394cb522bb87fddb8b1f1de2bc i386/mozilla-nss-1.7.12-1.3.1.i386.rpm d5297a5613453214304e8f066a174736 i386/mozilla-nss-devel-1.7.12-1.3.1.i386.rpm f6822735fb99eab4f77d5cf9e5310aaa i386/mozilla-devel-1.7.12-1.3.1.i386.rpm f2b13215621464fd2d1121b3df958d7a i386/mozilla-mail-1.7.12-1.3.1.i386.rpm 045f61a21038fc15eb78ca700677e70d i386/mozilla-chat-1.7.12-1.3.1.i386.rpm 0d4d7b682ccffc4aa61c0468cb4e5096 i386/mozilla-js-debugger-1.7.12-1.3.1.i386.rpm be245dfb92cb4b610f2349888fceefa4 i386/mozilla-dom-inspector-1.7.12-1.3.1.i386.rpm f5d066e3bd2b12a561ec1f54399aef99 i386/debug/mozilla-debuginfo-1.7.12-1.3.1.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
