1. Topic:

Updated mozilla packages that fix various bugs are now available.

Mozilla is an open source Web browser, advanced email and newsgroup
client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386
Red Hat Linux 9 - i386
Fedora Core 1 - i386
Fedora Core 2 - i386

3. Problem description:

A bug was found in the way Mozilla sets file permissions when installing
XPI packages. It is possible for an XPI package to install some files
world readable or writable, allowing a malicious local user to steal
information or execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0906 to
this issue.

A bug was found in the way Mozilla handles pop-up windows. It is
possible for a malicious website to control the content in an unrelated
site's pop-up window. (CAN-2004-1156)

iSEC Security Research has discovered a buffer overflow bug in the way
Mozilla handles NNTP URLs. If a user visits a malicious web page or is
convinced to click on a malicious link, it may be possible for an
attacker to execute arbitrary code on the victim's machine.
(CAN-2004-1316)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla displays dialog windows. It is
possible that a malicious web page which is being displayed in a
background tab could present the user with a dialog window appearing to
come from the active page. (CAN-2004-1380)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla handles certain start tags followed
by a NULL character. A malicious web page could cause Mozilla to crash
when viewed by a victim. (CAN-2004-1613)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla loads links in a new tab which are
middle clicked. A malicious web page could read local files or modify
privileged chrom settings. (CAN-2005-0141)

Several bugs were found with the way Mozilla handles temporary files. A
local user could view sensitive temporary information or delete
arbitrary files. (CAN-2005-0142 CAN-2005-0578)

Several bugs were found with the way Mozilla displays the secure site
icon. It is possible that a malicious website could display the secure
site icon along with incorrect certificate information. (CAN-2005-0143
CAN-2005-0593)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla displays the secure site icon. A
malicious web page can use a view-source URL targetted at a secure page,
while loading an insecure page, yet the secure site icon shows the
previous secure state. (CAN-2005-0144)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla handles synthetic middle click
events. It is possible for a malicious web page to steal the contents of
a victims clipboard. (CAN-2005-0146)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla responds to proxy auth requests. It
is possible for a malicious webserver to steal credentials from a
victims browser by issuing a 407 proxy authentication request.
(CAN-2005-0147)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla Mail handles cookies when loading
content over HTTP regardless of the user's preference. It is possible
that a particular user could be tracked through the use of malicious
mail messages which load content over HTTP. (CAN-2005-0149)

A bug was found in the Mozilla javascript security manager. If a user
drags a malicious link to a tab, the javascript security manager is
bypassed, which could result in remote code execution or information
disclosure. (CAN-2005-0231)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla allows plug-ins to load privileged
content into a frame. It is possible that a malicious webpage could
trick a user into clicking in certain places to modify configuration
settings or execute arbitrary code. (CAN-2005-0232 and CAN-2005-0527)

A flaw was found in the way Mozilla displays international domain names.
It is possible for an attacker to display a valid URL, tricking the user
into thinking they are viewing a legitimate webpage when they are not.
(CAN-2005-0233)

A buffer overflow bug was found in the way Mozilla processes GIF images.
It is possible for an attacker to create a specially crafted GIF image,
which when viewed by a victim will execute arbitrary code as the victim.
(CAN-2005-0399)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla processes XUL content. If a malicious
web page can trick a user into dragging an object, it is possible to
load malicious XUL content. (CAN-2005-0401)

Several bugs were found in the way Mozilla displays alert dialogs. It is
possible for a malicious webserver or website to trick a user into
thinking the dialog window is being generated from a trusted site.
(CAN-2005-0584 CAN-2005-0585 CAN-2005-0586 CAN-2005-0590 CAN-2005-0591)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla handles xsl:include and xsl:import
directives. It is possible for a malicious website to import XSLT
stylesheets from a domain behind a firewall, leaking information to an
attacker. (CAN-2005-0588)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla handles anonymous functions during
regular expression string replacement. It is possible for a malicious
web page to capture a random block of browser memory. (CAN-2005-0989)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla displays pop-up windows. If a user
choses to open a pop-up window whose URL is malicious javascript, the
script will be executed with elevated privileges. (CAN-2005-1153)

Several bugs were found in the Mozilla javascript engine. A malicious
web page could leverage these issues to execute javascript with elevated
privileges or steal sensitive information. (CAN-2005-1154 CAN-2005-1155
CAN-2005-1159 CAN-2005-1160)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla installed search plugins. If a user
chooses to install a search plugin from a malicious site, the new plugin
could silently overwrite an existing plugin. This could allow the
malicious plugin to execute arbitrary code and stealm sensitive
information. (CAN-2005-1156 CAN-2005-1157)

Users of Mozilla are advised to upgrade to this updated package which
contains Mozilla version 1.7.7 to correct these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which
are not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note
that you can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only*
contains the desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via yum and apt. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use yum issue:

yum update

or to use apt:

apt-get update; apt-get upgrade

This will start an interactive process that will result in the
appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system. This assumes that you
have yum or apt-get configured for obtaining Fedora Legacy content.
Please visit http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs for directions on how to
configure yum and apt-get.

These packages are GPG signed by Fedora Legacy for security. Our key is
available from http://www.fedoralegacy.org/about/security.php

You can verify each package with the following command:

rpm --checksig -v <filename>

If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or
tampered with, examine only the sha1sum with the following command:

sha1sum <filename>
