=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

An updated firefox package that fixes various security issues is now

available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

 

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red

3. Description:

 

Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser.

 

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 as the user running Firefox.

(CVE-2009-0352, CVE-2009-0353, CVE-2009-0356)

 

Several flaws were found in the way malformed content was processed. A

website containing specially-crafted content could, potentially, trick a

Firefox user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2009-0354,

CVE-2009-0355)

 

A flaw was found in the way Firefox treated HTTPOnly cookies. An attacker

able to execute arbitrary JavaScript on a target site using HTTPOnly

cookies may be able to use this flaw to steal the cookie. (CVE-2009-0357)

 

A flaw was found in the way Firefox treated certain HTTP page caching

directives. A local attacker could steal the contents of sensitive pages

which the page author did not intend to be cached. (CVE-2009-0358)

 

For technical details regarding these flaws, please see the Mozilla

security advisories for Firefox 3.0.6. You can find a link to the Mozilla

advisories in the References section.

 

All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain

Firefox version 3.0.6, which corrects these issues. After installing the

update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released

errata relevant to your system have been applied.
