3. Description:

 

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

Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox.

 

A race condition flaw was found in the way Firefox handled Document Object

Model (DOM) element properties. Malicious HTML content could cause Firefox

to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the

user running Firefox. (CVE-2010-3765)

 

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-2010-3175, CVE-2010-3176, CVE-2010-3179, CVE-2010-3183,

CVE-2010-3180)

 

A flaw was found in the way the Gopher parser in Firefox converted text

into HTML. A malformed file name on a Gopher server could, when accessed by

a victim running Firefox, allow arbitrary JavaScript to be executed in the

context of the Gopher domain. (CVE-2010-3177)

 

A same-origin policy bypass flaw was 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 had loaded with Firefox.

(CVE-2010-3178)

 

A flaw was found in the script that launches Firefox. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH

variable was appending a "." character, which could allow a local attacker

to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a different user running

Firefox, if that user ran Firefox from within an attacker-controlled

directory. (CVE-2010-3182)

 

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

advisories for Firefox 3.6.11 and 3.6.12. You can find links to the Mozilla

advisories in the References section of this erratum.

 

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

Firefox version 3.6.12, which corrects these issues. After installing the

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