Fedora: 2005-249 Critical: Mozilla GIF Buffer Overflow Threat

Mozilla is an open-source web browser, designed for standards

compliance, performance and portability.

A buffer overflow bug was found in the way Mozilla processes GIF images.

It is possible for an attacker to create a specially crafted GIF image,

which when viewed by a victim will execute arbitrary code as the victim.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has

assigned the name CAN-2005-0399 to this issue.

A bug was found in the way Mozilla responds to proxy auth requests. It

is possible for a malicious webserver to steal credentials from a

victims browser by issuing a 407 proxy authentication request.

(CAN-2005-0147)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla displays dialog windows. It is

possible that a malicious web page which is being displayed in a

background tab could present the user with a dialog window appearing to

come from the active page. (CAN-2004-1380)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla Mail handles cookies when loading

content over HTTP regardless of the user's preference. It is possible

that a particular user could be tracked through the use of malicious

mail messages which load content over HTTP. (CAN-2005-0149)

A flaw was found in the way Mozilla displays international domain names.

It is possible for an attacker to display a valid URL, tricking the user

into thinking they are viewing a legitimate webpage when they are not.

(CAN-2005-0233)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla handles pop-up windows. It is

possible for a malicious website to control the content in an unrelated

site's pop-up window. (CAN-2004-1156)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla saves temporary files. Temporary

files are saved with world readable permissions, which could allow a

local malicious user to view potentially sensitive data. (CAN-2005-0142)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla handles synthetic middle click

events. It is possible for a malicious web page to steal the contents of

a victims clipboard. (CAN-2005-0146)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla processes XUL content. If a malicious

web page can trick a user into dragging an object, it is possible to

load malicious XUL content. (CAN-2005-0401)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla loads links in a new tab which are

middle clicked. A malicious web page could read local files or modify

privileged chrom settings. (CAN-2005-0141)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla displays the secure site icon. A

malicious web page can use a view-source URL targetted at a secure page,

while loading an insecure page, yet the secure site icon shows the

previous secure state. (CAN-2005-0144)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla displays the secure site icon. A

malicious web page can display the secure site icon by loading a binary

file from a secured site. (CAN-2005-0143)

A bug was found in the way Mozilla displays the download dialog window.

A malicious site can obfuscate the content displayed in the source

field, tricking a user into thinking they are downloading content from a

trusted source. (CAN-2005-0585)

Users of Mozilla are advised to upgrade to this updated package which

contains Mozilla version 1.7.6 to correct these issues.
