Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2006-02-02 15:38 - Updated: 2006-02-02 00:00
Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: mozilla security update
Severity
Critical
Notes
Topic: Updated mozilla packages that fix several security bugs are now available. This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
Details: Mozilla is an open source Web browser, advanced email and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor. Igor Bukanov discovered a bug in the way Mozilla's Javascript interpreter dereferences objects. If a user visits a malicious web page, Mozilla could crash or execute arbitrary code as the user running Mozilla. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project assigned the name CVE-2006-0292 to this issue. moz_bug_r_a4 discovered a bug in Mozilla's XULDocument.persist() function. A malicious web page could inject arbitrary RDF data into a user's localstore.rdf file, which can cause Mozilla to execute arbitrary javascript when a user runs Mozilla. (CVE-2006-0296) A denial of service bug was found in the way Mozilla saves history information. If a user visits a web page with a very long title, it is possible Mozilla will crash or take a very long time the next time it is run. (CVE-2005-4134) Note that the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 packages also fix a bug when using XSLT to transform documents. Passing DOM Nodes as parameters to functions expecting an xsl:param could cause Mozilla to throw an exception. Users of Mozilla are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

CVE-2005-4134

Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Netscape 8.0.4 and 7.2, and K-Meleon before 0.9.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and delayed application startup) via a web site with a large title, which is recorded in history.dat but not processed efficiently during startup. NOTE: despite initial reports, the Mozilla vendor does not believe that this issue can be used to trigger a crash or buffer overflow in Firefox. Also, it has been independently reported that Netscape 8.1 does not have this issue.

CVE-2006-0292

The Javascript interpreter (jsinterp.c) in Mozilla and Firefox before 1.5.1 does not properly dereference objects, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via unknown attack vectors related to garbage collection.

Affected products
Fixed 1 product, the same list as for CVE-2005-4134
Threats
Impact Critical
CVE-2006-0296

The XULDocument.persist function in Mozilla, Firefox before 1.5.0.1, and SeaMonkey before 1.0 does not validate the attribute name, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Javascript by injecting RDF data into the user's localstore.rdf file.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
