An update that fixes 12 vulnerabilities is now available.

It includes three new package versions.

 

Description:

 

 

Mozilla Firefox was updated to 10.0.3 ESR to fix various

bugs and security issues.

 

The following security issues have been fixed:

 

*

 

MFSA 2012-19: Mozilla developers identified and fixed

several memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in

Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these

bugs showed evidence of memory corruption under certain

circumstances, and we presume that with enough effort at

least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary

code.

 

In general these flaws cannot be exploited through

email in the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products because

scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in

browser or browser-like contexts in those products.

 

References:

 

Bob Clary reported two bugs that causes crashes that

affected Firefox 3.6, Firefox ESR, and Firefox 10.

CVE-2012-0461

 

Christian Holler, Jesse Ruderman, Nils, Michael

Bebenita, Dindog, and David Anderson reported memory safety

problems and crashes that affect Firefox ESR and Firefox

10. CVE-2012-0462

 

Jeff Walden reported a memory safety problem in the

array.join function. This bug was independently reported by

Vincenzo Iozzo via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative

Pwn2Own contest. CVE-2012-0464

 

Masayuki Nakano reported a memory safety problem that

affected Mobile Firefox

 

*

 

CVE-2012-0463

 

*

 

MFSA 2012-18 / CVE-2012-0460: Mozilla developer Matt

Brubeck reported that window.fullScreen is writeable by

untrusted content now that the DOM fullscreen API is

enabled. Because window.fullScreen does not include

mozRequestFullscreen's security protections, it could be

used for UI spoofing. This code change makes

window.fullScreen read only by untrusted content, forcing

the use of the DOM fullscreen API in normal usage.

 

Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by

this vulnerability.

 

*

 

MFSA 2012-17 / CVE-2012-0459: Mozilla community

member Daniel Glazman of Disruptive Innovations reported a

crash when accessing a keyframe's cssText after dynamic

modification. This crash may be potentially exploitable.

 

Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by

this vulnerability.

 

*

 

MFSA 2012-16 / CVE-2012-0458: Security researcher

Mariusz Mlynski reported that an attacker able to convince

a potential victim to set a new home page by dragging a

link to the "home" button can set that user's home page to

a javascript: URL. Once this is done the attacker's page

can cause repeated crashes of the browser, eventually

getting the script URL loaded in the privileged

about:sessionrestore context.

 

*

 

MFSA 2012-15 / CVE-2012-0451: Security Researcher

Mike Brooks of Sitewatch reported that if multiple Content

Security Policy (CSP) headers are present on a page, they

have an additive effect page policy. Using carriage return

line feed (CRLF) injection, a new CSP rule can be

introduced which allows for cross-site scripting (XSS) on

sites with a separate header injection vulnerability.

 

Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by

this vulnerability.

 

*

 

MFSA 2012-14 / CVE-2012-0457 / CVE-2012-0456:

Security researcher Atte Kettunen from OUSPG found two

issues with Firefox's handling of SVG using the Address

Sanitizer tool. The first issue, critically rated, is a

use-after-free in SVG animation that could potentially lead

to arbitrary code execution. The second issue is rated

moderate and is an out of bounds read in SVG Filters. This

could potentially incorporate data from the user's memory,

making it accessible to the page content.

 

*

 

MFSA 2012-13 / CVE-2012-0455: Firefox prevents the

dropping of javascript: links onto a frame to prevent

malicious sites from tricking users into performing a

cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks on themselves. Security

researcher Soroush Dalili reported a way to bypass this

protection.

 

*

 

MFSA 2012-12 / CVE-2012-0454: Security researchers

Blair Strang and Scott Bell of Security Assessment found

that when a parent window spawns and closes a child window

that uses the file open dialog, a crash can be induced in

shlwapi.dll on 32-bit Windows 7 systems. This crash may be

potentially exploitable.

 

Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 are not affected by

this vulnerability.
