Category Security Release Phase Resolved Solaris 9 Operating System Solaris 8 Operating System Bug Id 5090528, 5090529, 5090530, 5090583, 5091014, 5091109, 5091115, 5091116, 5091120, 5091123, 5091146, 5108583, 5108586, 5108587, 5108590, 5108591, 5108588 Date of Workaround Release 14-DEC-2004 Date of Resolved Release 14-JAN-2005 Impact Multiple security vulnerabilities in Mozilla may result in one or more of the following issues: 1. A buffer overflow exists that may allow a a remote unprivileged user the ability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local user when that local user has loaded a Portable Network Graphics (PNG) format image file supplied by an untrusted remote user. This issue is described in the following document: 2. An integer overflow and a heap corruption exists in JavaScript that may allow an unprivileged user the ability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local user running Mozilla. This issue is described in the following document: 3. A heap overflow exists that could allow a malicious POP3 server to send a carefully crafted response that may allow a remote unprivileged user the ability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local user running Mozilla. This issue is described in the following document: 4. Additional heap overflows and double frees exist that could allow a malicious POP3 server to send a carefully crafted response that may cause a Denial of Service (DOS) attack for the client or may allow a remote unprivileged user the ability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the local user running Mozilla. This issue is described in the following document: 5. It may be possible to import an invalid CA certificate with a Domain Name the same as that of the built-in CA root certificates. This could cause a denial of service (DOS) to SSL pages. This issue is described in the following document: 6. By using a NULL character (%00) in a FTP URL, Mozilla can be confused into opening a resource as a different MIME type. This may allow an unprivileged user to gain the privileges of a local user running Mozilla. This issue is described in the following document: 7. Mozilla may allow a malicious website to inject content into a frame. This flaw is also known as the "frame injection" vulnerability. This issue is described in the following document: 8. Mozilla may allow a malicious webpage to use a redirect sequence to spoof the security lock icon thus causing the webpage to appear to be encrypted. This issue is described in the following document: 9. Mozilla may allow malicious websites to install arbitrary extensions by using interactive events to manipulate the "XP Install Security" dialog box. This issue is described in the following document: 10. Mozilla contains a caching flaw which may allow malicious websites to spoof certificates of trusted websites via redirects and Javascript that uses the "onunload" method. This issue is described in the following document: 11. Mozilla contains a flaw that allows malicious websites to hijack the user interface via the "chrome" flag and XML User Interface Language (XUL) files. This issue is described in the following document: 12. Mozilla may allow a malicious website to spoof Mozilla into thinking it was accessing a trusted host. This is due to a flaw when verifying a certificate where as the hostname checked is not the fully qualified domain name (FQDN). This issue is described in the following document: 13. Mozilla contains a flaw that could allow malicious javascript to obtain or modify sensitive information from secure sites by dragging links onto other frames or pages. This issue is described in the following document: 14. An integer overflow exists that may allow a remote unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local user when that local user has loaded an extremely wide Bitmap (.bmp) format image file supplied by an untrusted user. This issue is described in the following document: 15. Mozilla contains a flaw that could allow malicious javascript code to read and write sensitive data that the user might have copied into the clipboard. This issue is described in the following document: 16. A heap overflow exists in the "send page" function that may allow a remote unprivileged user the ability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local user when that user attempts to forward content to others. This issue is described in the following document: 17. A buffer overflow exists when displaying VCards that may allow a remote unprivileged user the ability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local user. This issue is described in the following document: Contributing Factors These issues can occur on the following platforms: SPARC Platform
x86 Platform
Linux
Note: Solaris 7 is not affected by these issues. The described issues only occur with the following Mozilla versions:
To determine the version of Mozilla installed on a system, the following command can be used: % /usr/sfw/bin/mozilla -version Mozilla 1.4, (Sun Java Desktop System; Solaris), build 2004041404 To determine the release of JDS for Linux installed on a system, the following command can be used: % cat /etc/sun-release Sun Java Desktop System, Release 2 -build 10b (GA) Assembled 30 March 2004 To determine the version of Mozilla for Linux, run the following command on JDS: % rpm -qf /usr/bin/mozilla /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/components/libmsgnews.so
mozilla-1.4.1-221
mozilla-mail-1.4.1-223
Symptoms There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the described issues have been exploited. Workaround There is no workaround. Please see the "Resolution" section below. Resolution These issues are addressed in the following release: SPARC Platform
