Fedora Core 5 FEDORA-2006-411 Moderate: Firefox Web Browser Risks

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

compliance, performance and portability.

Several bugs were found in the way Firefox processes

malformed javascript. A malicious web page could modify the

content of a different open web page, possibly stealing

sensitive information or conducting a cross-site scripting

attack. (CVE-2006-1731, CVE-2006-1732, CVE-2006-1741)

Several bugs were found in the way Firefox processes certain

javascript actions. A malicious web page could execute

arbitrary javascript instructions with the permissions of

"chrome", allowing the page to steal sensitive information

or install browser malware. (CVE-2006-1727, CVE-2006-1728,

CVE-2006-1733, CVE-2006-1734, CVE-2006-1735, CVE-2006-1742)

Several bugs were found in the way Firefox processes

malformed web pages. A carefully crafted malicious web page

could cause the execution of arbitrary code as the user

running Firefox. (CVE-2006-0749, CVE-2006-1724,

CVE-2006-1730, CVE-2006-1737, CVE-2006-1738, CVE-2006-1739,

CVE-2006-1790)

A bug was found in the way Firefox displays the secure site

icon. If a browser is configured to display the non-default

secure site modal warning dialog, it may be possible to

trick a user into believing they are viewing a secure site.

(CVE-2006-1740)

A bug was found in the way Firefox allows javascript

mutation events on "input" form elements. A malicious web

page could be created in such a way that when a user submits

a form, an arbitrary file could be uploaded to the attacker.

(CVE-2006-1729)
