    various bugs and security issues.
    
    The following security issues have been fixed :
    
      - Security researcher Paul Stone reported that a user's
        form history, both from web content as well as the smart
        location bar, was vulnerable to theft. A malicious web
        page could synthesize events such as mouse focus and key
        presses on behalf of the victim and trick the browser
        into auto-filling the form fields with history entries
        and then reading the entries. (MFSA 2009-52 /
        CVE-2009-3370)
    
      - Security researcher Jeremy Brown reported that the file
        naming scheme used for downloading a file which already
        exists in the downloads folder is predictable. If an
        attacker had local access to a victim's computer and
        knew the name of a file the victim intended to open
        through the Download Manager, he could use this
        vulnerability to place a malicious file in the
        world-writable directory used to save temporary
        downloaded files and cause the browser to choose the
        incorrect file when opening it. Since this attack
        requires local access to the victim's machine, the
        severity of this vulnerability was determined to be low.
        (MFSA 2009-53 / CVE-2009-3274)
    
      - Security researcher Orlando Berrera of Sec Theory
        reported that recursive creation of JavaScript
        web-workers can be used to create a set of objects whose
        memory could be freed prior to their use. These
        conditions often result in a crash which could
        potentially be used by an attacker to run arbitrary code
        on a victim's computer. (MFSA 2009-54 / CVE-2009-3371)
    
      - Security researcher Marco C. reported a flaw in the
        parsing of regular expressions used in Proxy
        Auto-configuration (PAC) files. In certain cases this
        flaw could be used by an attacker to crash a victim's
        browser and run arbitrary code on their computer. Since
        this vulnerability requires the victim to have PAC
        configured in their environment with specific regular
        expresssions which can trigger the crash, the severity
        of the issue was determined to be moderate. (MFSA
        2009-55 / CVE-2009-3372)
    
      - Security research firm iDefense reported that researcher
        regenrecht discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in
        Mozilla's GIF image parser. This vulnerability could
        potentially be used by an attacker to crash a victim's
        browser and run arbitrary code on their computer. (MFSA
        2009-56 / CVE-2009-3373)
    
      - Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4 reported that
        the XPCOM utility XPCVariant::VariantDataToJS unwrapped
        doubly-wrapped objects before returning them to chrome
        callers. This could result in chrome privileged code
        calling methods on an object which had previously been
        created or modified by web content, potentially
        executing malicious JavaScript code with chrome
        privileges. (MFSA 2009-57 / CVE-2009-3374)
    
      - Security researcher Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research
        reported a heap-based buffer overflow in Mozilla's
        string to floating point number conversion routines.
        Using this vulnerability an attacker could craft some
        malicious JavaScript code containing a very long string
        to be converted to a floating point number which would
        result in improper memory allocation and the execution
        of an arbitrary memory location. This vulnerability
        could thus be leveraged by the attacker to run arbitrary
        code on a victim's computer. (MFSA 2009-59 /
        CVE-2009-1563)
    
      - Security researcher Gregory Fleischer reported that text
        within a selection on a web page can be read by
        JavaScript in a different domain using the
        document.getSelection function, violating the
        same-origin policy. Since this vulnerability requires
        user interaction to exploit, its severity was determined
        to be moderate. (MFSA 2009-61 / CVE-2009-3375)
    
      - Mozilla security researchers Jesse Ruderman and Sid
        Stamm reported that when downloading a file containing a
        right-to-left override character (RTL) in the filename,
        the name displayed in the dialog title bar conflicts
        with the name of the file shown in the dialog body. An
        attacker could use this vulnerability to obfuscate the
        name and file extension of a file to be downloaded and
        opened, potentially causing a user to run an executable
        file when they expected to open a non-executable file.
        (MFSA 2009-62 / CVE-2009-3376)
    
      - Mozilla developers and community members identified and
        fixed several stability bugs in the browser engine used
        in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of
        these crashes showed evidence of memory corruption under
        certain circumstances and we presume that with enough
        effort at least some of these could be exploited to run
        arbitrary code. (MFSA 2009-64 / CVE-2009-3380 /
        CVE-2009-3381 / CVE-2009-3382 / CVE-2009-3383)"

    descriptionUpdated firefox packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5. This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox. nspr provides the Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR). A flaw was found in the way Firefox handles form history. A malicious web page could steal saved form data by synthesizing input events, causing the browser to auto-fill form fields (which could then be read by an attacker). (CVE-2009-3370) A flaw was found in the way Firefox creates temporary file names for downloaded files. If a local attacker knows the name of a file Firefox is going to download, they can replace the contents of that file with arbitrary contents. (CVE-2009-3274) A flaw was found in the Firefox Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file processor. If Firefox loads a malicious PAC file, it could crash Firefox or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2009-3372) A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Firefox GIF image processor. A malicious GIF image could crash Firefox or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2009-3373) A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Firefox string to floating point conversion routines. A web page containing malicious JavaScript could crash Firefox or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2009-1563) A flaw was found in the way Firefox handles text selection. A malicious website may be able to read highlighted text in a different domain (e.g. another website the user is viewing), bypassing the same-origin policy. (CVE-2009-3375) A flaw was found in the way Firefox displays a right-to-left override character when downloading a file. In these cases, the name displayed in the title bar differs from the name displayed in the dialog body. An attacker could use this flaw to trick a user into downloading a file that has a file name or extension that differs from what the user expected. (CVE-2009-3376) Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2009-3374, CVE-2009-3380, CVE-2009-3382) For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla security advisories for Firefox 3.0.15. You can find a link to the Mozilla advisories in the References section of this errata. All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Firefox version 3.0.15, which corrects these issues. After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

    descriptionUSN-853-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox and Xulrunner. The upstream changes introduced regressions that could lead to crashes when processing certain malformed GIF images, fonts and web pages. This update fixes the problem. We apologize for the inconvenience. Alin Rad Pop discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in Firefox when it converted strings to floating point numbers. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2009-1563) Jeremy Brown discovered that the Firefox Download Manager was vulnerable to symlink attacks. A local attacker could exploit this to create or overwrite files with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2009-3274) Paul Stone discovered a flaw in the Firefox form history. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could access this data to steal confidential information. (CVE-2009-3370) Orlando Berrera discovered that Firefox did not properly free memory when using web-workers. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. This issue only affected Ubuntu 9.10. (CVE-2009-3371) A flaw was discovered in the way Firefox processed Proxy Auto-configuration (PAC) files. If a user configured the browser to use PAC files with certain regular expressions, an attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.

    descriptionFrom Red Hat Security Advisory 2009:1530 : Updated firefox packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5. This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox. nspr provides the Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR). A flaw was found in the way Firefox handles form history. A malicious web page could steal saved form data by synthesizing input events, causing the browser to auto-fill form fields (which could then be read by an attacker). (CVE-2009-3370) A flaw was found in the way Firefox creates temporary file names for downloaded files. If a local attacker knows the name of a file Firefox is going to download, they can replace the contents of that file with arbitrary contents. (CVE-2009-3274) A flaw was found in the Firefox Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file processor. If Firefox loads a malicious PAC file, it could crash Firefox or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2009-3372) A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Firefox GIF image processor. A malicious GIF image could crash Firefox or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2009-3373) A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Firefox string to floating point conversion routines. A web page containing malicious JavaScript could crash Firefox or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2009-1563) A flaw was found in the way Firefox handles text selection. A malicious website may be able to read highlighted text in a different domain (e.g. another website the user is viewing), bypassing the same-origin policy. (CVE-2009-3375) A flaw was found in the way Firefox displays a right-to-left override character when downloading a file. In these cases, the name displayed in the title bar differs from the name displayed in the dialog body. An attacker could use this flaw to trick a user into downloading a file that has a file name or extension that differs from what the user expected. (CVE-2009-3376) Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2009-3374, CVE-2009-3380, CVE-2009-3382) For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla security advisories for Firefox 3.0.15. You can find a link to the Mozilla advisories in the References section of this errata. All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Firefox version 3.0.15, which corrects these issues. After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
