TITLE:
Mozilla Firefox Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA30911

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/30911/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Cross Site Scripting, Spoofing, Exposure of system
information, Exposure of sensitive information, DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

REVISION:
1.1 originally posted 2008-07-02

SOFTWARE:
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.x
http://secunia.com/product/12434/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Firefox, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and
spoofing attacks, bypass certain security restrictions, disclose
sensitive information, or potentially compromise a user's system.

1) Multiple errors in the layout and JavaScript engines can be
exploited to corrupt memory.

2) An error in the handling of unprivileged XUL documents can be
exploited to load Chrome scripts from a "fastload" file via
"<script>" elements.   

3) An error in the "mozIJSSubScriptLoader.LoadScript()" function can
be exploited to bypass XPCNativeWrappers and run arbitrary code with
Chrome privileges.

Successful exploitation requires that an add-on using the affected
function is installed.

4) An error in the block reflow process can be exploited to cause a
crash or potentially execute arbitrary code.

5) An error in the processing of file URLs contained within local
directory listings can potentially be exploited to execute malicious
JavaScript content.

6) Multiple errors in the implementation of the JavaScript same
origin policy can be exploited to execute arbitrary script code in
the context of a different domain.

7) Multiple errors in the verification of signed JAR files can be
exploited to execute arbitrary JavaScript code with the privileges of
the JAR's signer.

8) An error in the implementation of file upload forms can be
exploited to upload arbitrary local files to a remote webserver via
specially crafted "DOM Range" and "originalTarget" elements.

9) An error in the Java LiveConnect implementation on Mac OS X can be
exploited to establish arbitrary socket connections.

10) An uninitialized memory access in the processing of improperly
encoded ".properties" files can potentially be exploited to disclose
sensitive memory via an add-on using the malformed file.

11) An error in the processing of "Alt Names" provided by "peer"
trusted certificates can be exploited to conduct spoofing attacks.

12) An error in the processing of Windows URL shortcuts can be
exploited to run a remote site as a local file.

Successful exploitation requires that the user is tricked into
downloading and then opening a malicious Windows URL shortcut.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 2.0.0.15.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.0.0.15.
