Summary

Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.2 and possibly other versions before 1.5.0.4, Netscape 8.1, 8.0.4, and 7.2, and K-Meleon 0.9.13 allows user-assisted remote attackers to open local files via a web page with an IMG element containing a SRC attribute with a non-image file:// URL, then tricking the user into selecting View Image for the broken image, as demonstrated using a .wma file to launch Windows Media Player, or by referencing an "alternate web page."

    "Several security related problems have been discovered in Mozilla. The
    Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
    vulnerabilities :
    
      - CVE-2006-1942
        Eric Foley discovered that a user can be tricked to
        expose a local file to a remote attacker by displaying a
        local file as image in connection with other
        vulnerabilities. [MFSA-2006-39]
    
      - CVE-2006-2775
        XUL attributes are associated with the wrong URL under
        certain circumstances, which might allow remote
        attackers to bypass restrictions. [MFSA-2006-35]
    
      - CVE-2006-2776
        Paul Nickerson discovered that content-defined setters
        on an object prototype were getting called by privileged
        user interface code, and 'moz_bug_r_a4' demonstrated
        that the higher privilege level could be passed along to
        the content-defined attack code. [MFSA-2006-37]
    
      - CVE-2006-2777
        A vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute
        arbitrary code and create notifications that are
        executed in a privileged context. [MFSA-2006-43]
    
      - CVE-2006-2778
        Mikolaj Habryn discovered a buffer overflow in the
        crypto.signText function that allows remote attackers to
        execute arbitrary code via certain optional Certificate
        Authority name arguments. [MFSA-2006-38]
    
      - CVE-2006-2779
        Mozilla team members discovered several crashes during
        testing of the browser engine showing evidence of memory
        corruption which may also lead to the execution of
        arbitrary code. This problem has only partially been
        corrected. [MFSA-2006-32]
    
      - CVE-2006-2780
        An integer overflow allows remote attackers to cause a
        denial of service and may permit the execution of
        arbitrary code. [MFSA-2006-32]
    
      - CVE-2006-2781
        Masatoshi Kimura discovered a double-free vulnerability
        that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
        service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a VCard.
        [MFSA-2006-40]
    
      - CVE-2006-2782
        Chuck McAuley discovered that a text input box can be
        pre-filled with a filename and then turned into a
        file-upload control, allowing a malicious website to
        steal any local file whose name they can guess.
        [MFSA-2006-41, MFSA-2006-23, CVE-2006-1729]
    
      - CVE-2006-2783
        Masatoshi Kimura discovered that the Unicode
        Byte-order-Mark (BOM) is stripped from UTF-8 pages
        during the conversion to Unicode before the parser sees
        the web page, which allows remote attackers to conduct
        cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. [MFSA-2006-42]
    
      - CVE-2006-2784
        Paul Nickerson discovered that the fix for CVE-2005-0752
        can be bypassed using nested javascript: URLs, allowing
        the attacker to execute privileged code. [MFSA-2005-34,
        MFSA-2006-36]
    
      - CVE-2006-2785
        Paul Nickerson demonstrated that if an attacker could
        convince a user to right-click on a broken image and
        choose 'View Image' from the context menu then he could
        get JavaScript to run. [MFSA-2006-34]
    
      - CVE-2006-2786
        Kazuho Oku discovered that Mozilla's lenient handling of
        HTTP header syntax may allow remote attackers to trick
        the browser to interpret certain responses as if they
        were responses from two different sites. [MFSA-2006-33]
    
      - CVE-2006-2787
        The Mozilla researcher 'moz_bug_r_a4' discovered that
        JavaScript run via EvalInSandbox can escape the sandbox
        and gain elevated privilege. [MFSA-2006-31]"
