Overview

The Mozilla web browser and derived products contain several
vulnerabilities, the most serious of which could allow a remote

I. Description

Several vulnerabilities have been reported in the Mozilla web browser
and derived products. More detailed information is available in the
individual vulnerability notes, including:

VU#932734 - Mozilla crypto.generateCRMFRequest() vulnerability

A vulnerability exists in the Mozilla JavaScript routine
generateCRMFRequest() that may allow a remote attacker to execute
arbitrary code.
(CVE-2006-1728)

VU#968814 - Mozilla JavaScript security bypass vulnerability

Mozilla products fail to properly enforce security restrictions in
JavaScript. This vulnerability may allow a remote, unauthenticated
attacker to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2006-1726)

VU#179014 - Mozilla CSS integer overflow vulnerability

Mozilla products contain an integer overflow that could allow a
remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2006-1730)

VU#488774 - Mozilla XBL binding vulnerability

Mozilla products fail to properly restrict access to privileged XBL
bindings. This vulnerability may allow a remote, unauthenticated
attacker to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2006-1733)

VU#842094 - Mozilla JavaScript cloned parent vulnerability

Mozilla products fail to properly restrict access to a JavaScript
functions cloned parent. This vulnerability may allow a remote
attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.
(CVE-2006-1734)

VU#813230 - Mozilla products vulnerable to privilege escalation via
XBL.method.eval

A vulnerability in the way Mozilla products and derivative programs
handle certain XBL methods could allow a remote attacker to execute
arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.
(CVE-2006-1735)

VU#736934 - Mozilla products vulnerable to memory corruption via a
particular sequence of HTML tags

A vulnerability in the way Mozilla products and derivative programs
handle certain HTML tags could allow a remote attacker to execute
arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.
(CVE-2006-0749)

VU#935556 - Mozilla products may allow CSS border-rendering code to
write past the end of an array

A vulnerability in the way Mozilla products and derivative programs
handle certain CSS methods could allow a remote attacker to crash the
application or execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.
(CVE-2006-1739)

VU#350262 - Mozilla DHTML memory corruption vulnerabilities

Mozilla products contain to multiple, unspecified vulnerabilities in
the way they handle DHTML. These vulnerabilities may allow a remote
attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service
condition.
(CVE-2006-1724)

VU#252324 - Mozilla display style vulnerability

Mozilla products contain an unspecified vulnerability in the way they
handle display styles. This vulnerability may allow a remote attacker
to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition.

VU#329500 - Mozilla products vulnerable to memory corruption via large
regular expression in JavaScript

A vulnerability in the way the JavaScript engine of Mozilla products
and derivative programs handles a large regular expression could allow
a remote attacker to crash the application or execute arbitrary code
on a vulnerable system.


II. Impact

The most severe impact of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote
attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running the affected application. Other effects include a denial of
service or local information disclosure.


III. Solution

Upgrade

Upgrade to Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.2, Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.2, or
SeaMonkey 1.0.1. According to Mozilla.org, Thunderbird 1.5.0.2 is
