Summary

Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x before 3.0.18 and 3.5.x before 3.5.8, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.3, does not properly support the application/octet-stream content type as a protection mechanism against execution of web script in certain circumstances involving SVG and the EMBED element, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via an embedded SVG document.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Cross Site Scripting through Log Files
    An attacker may leverage a system weakness where logs are susceptible to log injection to insert scripts into the system's logs. If these logs are later viewed by an administrator through a thin administrative interface and the log data is not properly HTML encoded before being written to the page, the attackers' scripts stored in the log will be executed in the administrative interface with potentially serious consequences. This attack pattern is really a combination of two other attack patterns: log injection and stored cross site scripting.
  • Embedding Scripts in Non-Script Elements
    This attack is a form of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) where malicious scripts are embedded in elements that are not expected to host scripts such as image tags (<img>), comments in XML documents (< !-CDATA->), etc. These tags may not be subject to the same input validation, output validation, and other content filtering and checking routines, so this can create an opportunity for an attacker to tunnel through the application's elements and launch a XSS attack through other elements. As with all remote attacks, it is important to differentiate the ability to launch an attack (such as probing an internal network for unpatched servers) and the ability of the remote attacker to collect and interpret the output of said attack.
  • Embedding Scripts within Scripts
    An attack of this type exploits a programs' vulnerabilities that are brought on by allowing remote hosts to execute scripts. The attacker leverages this capability to execute scripts to execute his/her own script by embedding it within other scripts that the target software is likely to execute. The attacker must have the ability to inject script into script that is likely to be executed. If this is done, then the attacker can potentially launch a variety of probes and attacks against the web server's local environment, in many cases the so-called DMZ, back end resources the web server can communicate with, and other hosts. With the proliferation of intermediaries, such as Web App Firewalls, network devices, and even printers having JVMs and Web servers, there are many locales where an attacker can inject malicious scripts. Since this attack pattern defines scripts within scripts, there are likely privileges to execute said attack on the host. Of course, these attacks are not solely limited to the server side, client side scripts like Ajax and client side JavaScript can contain malicious scripts as well. In general all that is required is for there to be sufficient privileges to execute a script, but not protected against writing.
  • Cross-Site Scripting in Error Pages
    An attacker distributes a link (or possibly some other query structure) with a request to a third party web server that is malformed and also contains a block of exploit code in order to have the exploit become live code in the resulting error page. When the third party web server receives the crafted request and notes the error it then creates an error message that echoes the malformed message, including the exploit. Doing this converts the exploit portion of the message into to valid language elements that are executed by the viewing browser. When a victim executes the query provided by the attacker the infected error message error message is returned including the exploit code which then runs in the victim's browser. XSS can result in execution of code as well as data leakage (e.g. session cookies can be sent to the attacker). This type of attack is especially dangerous since the exploit appears to come from the third party web server, who the victim may trust and hence be more vulnerable to deception.
  • Cross-Site Scripting Using Alternate Syntax
    The attacker uses alternate forms of keywords or commands that result in the same action as the primary form but which may not be caught by filters. For example, many keywords are processed in a case insensitive manner. If the site's web filtering algorithm does not convert all tags into a consistent case before the comparison with forbidden keywords it is possible to bypass filters (e.g., incomplete black lists) by using an alternate case structure. For example, the "script" tag using the alternate forms of "Script" or "ScRiPt" may bypass filters where "script" is the only form tested. Other variants using different syntax representations are also possible as well as using pollution meta-characters or entities that are eventually ignored by the rendering engine. The attack can result in the execution of otherwise prohibited functionality.

    Following security issues have been fixed: MFSA 2010-01 /
    CVE-2010-0159: Mozilla developers 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 2010-02 / CVE-2010-0160: Security researcher Orlando Barrera II
    reported via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative that Mozilla's
    implementation of Web Workers contained an error in its handling of
    array data types when processing posted messages. This error could be
    used by an attacker to corrupt heap memory and crash the browser,
    potentially running arbitrary code on a victim's computer.
    
    MFSA 2010-03 / CVE-2009-1571: Security researcher Alin Rad Pop of
    Secunia Research reported that the HTML parser incorrectly freed used
    memory when insufficient space was available to process remaining
    input. Under such circumstances, memory occupied by in-use objects was
    freed and could later be filled with attacker-controlled text. These
    conditions could result in the execution or arbitrary code if methods
    on the freed objects were subsequently called.
    
    MFSA 2010-04 / CVE-2009-3988: Security researcher Hidetake Jo of
    Microsoft Vulnerability Research reported that the properties set on
    an object passed to showModalDialog were readable by the document
    contained in the dialog, even when the document was from a different
    domain. This is a violation of the same-origin policy and could result
    in a website running untrusted JavaScript if it assumed the
    dialogArguments could not be initialized by another site.
    
    An anonymous security researcher, via TippingPoint's Zero Day
    Initiative, also independently reported this issue to Mozilla.
    
    MFSA 2010-05 / CVE-2010-0162: Mozilla security researcher Georgi
    Guninski reported that when a SVG document which is served with
    Content-Type: application/octet-stream is embedded into another
    document via an <embed> tag with type='image/svg+xml', the
    Content-Type is ignored and the SVG document is processed normally. A
    website which allows arbitrary binary data to be uploaded but which
    relies on Content-Type: application/octet-stream to prevent script
    execution could have such protection bypassed. An attacker could
    upload a SVG document containing JavaScript as a binary file to a
    website, embed the SVG document into a malicous page on another site,
    and gain access to the script environment from the SVG-serving site,
    bypassing the same-origin policy."

(CVE-2009-1571) 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-2010-0159, CVE-2010-0160) Two flaws were found in the way certain content was processed. An attacker could use these flaws to create a malicious web page that could bypass the same-origin policy, or possibly run untrusted JavaScript. (CVE-2009-3988, CVE-2010-0162) For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla security advisories for Firefox 3.0.18. 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 3.0.18, which corrects these issues. After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
