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 with the privileges of the user

running Firefox. (CVE-2012-0461, CVE-2012-0462, CVE-2012-0464)

 

Two flaws were found in the way Firefox parsed certain Scalable Vector

Graphics (SVG) image files. A web page containing a malicious SVG image

file could cause an information leak, or cause Firefox to crash or,

potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running

Firefox. (CVE-2012-0456, CVE-2012-0457)

 

A flaw could allow a malicious site to bypass intended restrictions,

possibly leading to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack if a user were

tricked into dropping a "javascript:" link onto a frame. (CVE-2012-0455)

 

It was found that the home page could be set to a "javascript:" link. If a

user were tricked into setting such a home page by dragging a link to the

home button, it could cause Firefox to repeatedly crash, eventually

leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user

running Firefox. (CVE-2012-0458)

 

A flaw was found in the way Firefox parsed certain web content containing

"cssText". 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-2012-0459)

 

It was found that by using the DOM fullscreen API, untrusted content could

bypass the mozRequestFullscreen security protections. A web page containing

malicious web content could exploit this API flaw to cause user interface

spoofing. (CVE-2012-0460)

 

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled pages with multiple Content

Security Policy (CSP) headers. This could lead to a cross-site scripting

attack if used in conjunction with a website that has a header injection

flaw. (CVE-2012-0451)

 

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

advisories for Firefox 10.0.3 ESR. You can find a link to the Mozilla

advisories in the References section of this erratum.

 

This update also fixes the following bugs:

 

* When using the Traditional Chinese locale (zh-TW), a segmentation fault

sometimes occurred when closing Firefox. (BZ#729632)

 

* Inputting any text in the Web Console (Tools -> Web Developer ->

Web Console) caused Firefox to crash. (BZ#784048)

 

* The java-1.6.0-ibm-plugin and java-1.6.0-sun-plugin packages require the

"/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/" directory on 32-bit systems, and the

"/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/" directory on 64-bit systems. These

directories are created by the xulrunner package; however, they were

missing from the xulrunner package provided by the RHEA-2012:0327 update.

Therefore, upgrading to RHEA-2012:0327 removed those directories, causing

dependency errors when attempting to install the java-1.6.0-ibm-plugin or

java-1.6.0-sun-plugin package. With this update, xulrunner once again

creates the plugins directory. This issue did not affect users of Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 6. (BZ#799042)

 

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

Firefox version 10.0.3 ESR, 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.

 

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
