Subject: Security ERRATA Critical: firefox on SL5.x, SL6.x i386/x86_64
MIME-Version: 1.0

Synopsis: Critical: firefox security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2013:1140-1
Issue Date: 2013-08-07
CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-1701
 CVE-2013-1709
 CVE-2013-1710
 CVE-2013-1713
 CVE-2013-1714
 CVE-2013-1717
--

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web
page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running Firefox. (CVE-2013-1701)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox generated Certificate Request Message
Format (CRMF) requests. An attacker could use this flaw to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or execute arbitrary code with the privileges
of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2013-1710)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled the interaction between frames
and browser history. An attacker could use this flaw to trick Firefox into
treating malicious content as if it came from the browser history,
allowing for XSS attacks. (CVE-2013-1709)

It was found that the same-origin policy could be bypassed due to the way
Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI) were checked in JavaScript. An attacker
could use this flaw to perform XSS attacks, or install malicious add-ons
from third-party pages. (CVE-2013-1713)

It was found that web workers could bypass the same-origin policy. An
attacker could use this flaw to perform XSS attacks. (CVE-2013-1714)

It was found that, in certain circumstances, Firefox incorrectly handled
Java applets. If a user launched an untrusted Java applet via Firefox, the
applet could use this flaw to obtain read-only access to files on the
user's local system. (CVE-2013-1717)

After installing the update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to
take effect.
