Red Hat Security Advisory: firefox security update

Critical

The (1) Password Manager in Mozilla Firefox 2.0, and 1.5.0.8 and earlier; and the (2) Passcard Manager in Netscape 8.1.2 and possibly other versions, do not properly verify that an ACTION URL in a FORM element containing a password INPUT element matches the web site for which the user stored a password, which allows remote attackers to obtain passwords via a password INPUT element on a different web page located on the web site intended for this password.

Integer underflow in the SSLv2 support in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.11.5, as used by Firefox before 1.5.0.10 and 2.x before 2.0.0.2, SeaMonkey before 1.0.8, Thunderbird before 1.5.0.10, and certain Sun Java System server products before 20070611, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted SSLv2 server message containing a public key that is too short to encrypt the "Master Secret", which results in a heap-based overflow.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the SSLv2 support in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.11.5, as used by Firefox before 1.5.0.10 and 2.x before 2.0.0.2, Thunderbird before 1.5.0.10, SeaMonkey before 1.0.8, and certain Sun Java System server products before 20070611, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via invalid "Client Master Key" length values.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the layout engine in Mozilla Firefox before 1.5.0.10 and 2.x before 2.0.0.2, Thunderbird before 1.5.0.10, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and potentially execute arbitrary code via certain vectors.

The JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox before 1.5.0.10 and 2.x before 2.0.0.2, Thunderbird before 1.5.0.10, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via certain vectors that trigger memory corruption.

The page cache feature in Mozilla Firefox before 1.5.0.10 and 2.x before 2.0.0.2, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.8 can generate hash collisions that cause page data to be appended to the wrong page cache, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or enable further attack vectors when the target page is reloaded from the cache.

GUI overlay vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 1.5.x before 1.5.0.10 and 2.x before 2.0.0.2, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.8 allows remote attackers to spoof certain user interface elements, such as the host name or security indicators, via the CSS3 hotspot property with a large, transparent, custom cursor.

browser.js in Mozilla Firefox 1.5.x before 1.5.0.10 and 2.x before 2.0.0.2, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.8 uses the requesting URI to identify child windows, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by opening a blocked popup originating from a javascript: URI in combination with multiple frames having the same data: URI.
