3. Description:

 

Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL

Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox.

 

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-2010-1208, CVE-2010-1209, CVE-2010-1211, CVE-2010-1212,

CVE-2010-1214, CVE-2010-1215, CVE-2010-2752, CVE-2010-2753)

 

A memory corruption flaw was found in the way Firefox decoded certain PNG

images. An attacker could create a specially-crafted PNG image that, when

opened, could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary

code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2010-1205)

 

Several same-origin policy bypass flaws were found in Firefox. An attacker

could create a malicious web page that, when viewed by a victim, could

steal private data from a different website the victim has loaded with

Firefox. (CVE-2010-0654, CVE-2010-1207, CVE-2010-1213, CVE-2010-2754)

 

A flaw was found in the way Firefox presented the location bar to a user. A

malicious website could trick a user into thinking they are visiting the

site reported by the location bar, when the page is actually content

controlled by an attacker. (CVE-2010-1206)

 

A flaw was found in the way Firefox displayed the location bar when

visiting a secure web page. A malicious server could use this flaw to

present data that appears to originate from a secure server, even though it

does not. (CVE-2010-2751)

 

A flaw was found in the way Firefox displayed certain malformed characters.

A malicious web page could use this flaw to bypass certain string

sanitization methods, allowing it to display malicious information to

users. (CVE-2010-1210)

 

For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla security

advisories for Firefox 3.6.7. You can find a link to the Mozilla advisories

in the References section of this erratum.

 

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

Firefox version 3.6.7, 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 all previously-released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.
