Summary

Heap-based buffer overflow in Mozilla Firefox 2.x before 2.0.0.1, 1.5.x before 1.5.0.9, Thunderbird before 1.5.0.9, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by setting the CSS cursor to certain images that cause an incorrect size calculation when converting to a Windows bitmap.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

    (SeaMonkey: Multiple vulnerabilities)
    
        An anonymous researcher found evidence of memory corruption in the way
        SeaMonkey handles certain types of SVG comment DOM nodes. Georgi
        Guninski and David Bienvenu discovered buffer overflows in the
        processing of long 'Content-Type:' and long non-ASCII MIME email
        headers. Additionally, Frederik Reiss discovered a heap-based buffer
        overflow in the conversion of a CSS cursor. Several other issues with
        memory corruption were also fixed. SeaMonkey also contains less severe
        vulnerabilities involving JavaScript and Java.
      
    Impact :
    
        An attacker could entice a user to load malicious JavaScript or a
        malicious web page with a SeaMonkey application, possibly leading to
        the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running
        those products. An attacker could also perform cross-site scripting
        attacks, leading to the exposure of sensitive information, like user
        credentials. Note that the execution of JavaScript or Java applets is
        disabled by default in the SeaMonkey email client, and enabling it is
        strongly discouraged.
