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-2013-1701)

 

A flaw was found in the way Firefox generated Certificate Request Message

Format (CRMF) requests. An attacker could use this flaw to perform

cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or execute arbitrary code with the

privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2013-1710)

 

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled the interaction between frames

and browser history. An attacker could use this flaw to trick Firefox into

treating malicious content as if it came from the browser history, allowing

for XSS attacks. (CVE-2013-1709)

 

It was found that the same-origin policy could be bypassed due to the way

Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) were checked in JavaScript. An attacker

could use this flaw to perform XSS attacks, or install malicious add-ons

from third-party pages. (CVE-2013-1713)

 

It was found that web workers could bypass the same-origin policy. An

attacker could use this flaw to perform XSS attacks. (CVE-2013-1714)

 

It was found that, in certain circumstances, Firefox incorrectly handled

Java applets. If a user launched an untrusted Java applet via Firefox, the

applet could use this flaw to obtain read-only access to files on the

user's local system. (CVE-2013-1717)

 

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

Upstream acknowledges Jeff Gilbert, Henrik Skupin, moz_bug_r_a4, Cody

Crews, Federico Lanusse, and Georgi Guninski as the original reporters of

these issues.

 

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

advisories for Firefox 17.0.8 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 17.0.8 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
