Vulnerability Insight:
USN-930-4 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox and Xulrunner on Ubuntu 9.04 and
9.10. This update provides updated packages for use with Firefox 3.6 and
Xulrunner 1.9.2.
Original advisory details:
If was discovered that Firefox could be made to access freed memory. If a
user were tricked into viewing a malicious site, a remote attacker could
cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user invoking the program. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. (CVE-2010-1121)
Several flaws were discovered in the browser engine of Firefox. If a
user were tricked into viewing a malicious site, a remote attacker could
cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2010-1200, CVE-2010-1201,
CVE-2010-1202, CVE-2010-1203)
A flaw was discovered in the way plugin instances interacted. An attacker
could potentially exploit this and use one plugin to access freed memory from a
second plugin to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
invoking the program. (CVE-2010-1198)
An integer overflow was discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into
viewing a malicious site, an attacker could overflow a buffer and cause a
denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
the user invoking the program. (CVE-2010-1196)
Martin Barbella discovered an integer overflow in an XSLT node sorting
routine. An attacker could exploit this to overflow a buffer and cause a
denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
the user invoking the program. (CVE-2010-1199)
Michal Zalewski discovered that the focus behavior of Firefox could be
subverted. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious site, a remote
attacker could use this to capture keystrokes. (CVE-2010-1125)
Ilja van Sprundel discovered that the 'Content-Disposition: attachment'
HTTP header was ignored when 'Content-Type: multipart' was also present.
Under certain circumstances, this could potentially lead to cross-site
scripting attacks. (CVE-2010-1197)
Amit Klein discovered that Firefox did not seed its random number generator
often enough. An attacker could exploit this to identify and track users
across different web sites. (CVE-2008-5913)
Several flaws were discovered in the browser engine of Firefox. If a user
were tricked into viewing a malicious site, a remote attacker could use
this to crash the browser or possibly run arbitrary code as the user
invoking the program. (CVE-2010-1208, CVE-2010-1209, CVE-2010-1211,
CVE-2010-1212)
An integer overflow was discovered in how Firefox processed plugin
parameters. An attacker could exploit this to crash the browser or possibly
run arbitrary code as the user invoking the program. (CVE-2010-1214)
A flaw was discovered in the Firefox JavaScript engine. If a user were
