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-2013-0788)

A flaw was found in the way Same Origin Wrappers were implemented in

Firefox. A malicious site could use this flaw to bypass the same-origin

policy and execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running

Firefox. (CVE-2013-0795)

A flaw was found in the embedded WebGL library in Firefox. A web page

containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially,

execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox.

Note: This issue only affected systems using the Intel Mesa graphics

drivers. (CVE-2013-0796)

An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the embedded Cairo library in

Firefox. 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-2013-0800)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled the JavaScript history

functions. A malicious site could cause a web page to be displayed that has

a baseURI pointing to a different site, allowing cross-site scripting (XSS)

and phishing attacks. (CVE-2013-0793)

Red Hat would like to thank the Mozilla project for reporting these issues.

Upstream acknowledges Olli Pettay, Jesse Ruderman, Boris Zbarsky, Christian

Holler, Milan Sreckovic, Joe Drew, Cody Crews, miaubiz, Abhishek Arya, and

Mariusz Mlynski as the original reporters of these issues.

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

advisories for Firefox 17.0.5 ESR. 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 17.0.5 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

use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
