______________________________________________________________________________

1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion

   This update fixes several security problems in the Mozilla Firefox
   1.5 browser, Thunderbird 1.5 mail reader and Seamonkey Suite.

   It also brings Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird up to version 1.5.0.4
   bugfix level and the Seamonkey Suite to version 1.0.2.


   Only updates for SUSE Linux 10.1 are currently available. We are
   working on backports for the older products, since the Mozilla
   foundation has not released updates for those old products.

   The full list with even more details is at:
   https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/

   MFSA 2006-31/CVE-2006-2787: EvalInSandbox allows remote attackers   to gain privileges via javascript that calls the valueOf method on
   objects that were created outside of the sandbox.

   MFSA 2006-32/CVE-2006-2780: An Integer overflow allows remote attackers   to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary
   code via "jsstr tagify," which leads to memory corruption.

   MFSA 2006-32/CVE-2006-2779: Firefox allow remote attackers to cause a
   denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1)
   nested  tags in a select tag, (2) a DOMNodeRemoved mutation
   event, (3) "Content-implemented tree views," (4) BoxObjects, (5)
   the XBL implementation, (6) an IFRAME that attempts to remove itself,
   which leads to memory corruption.

   MFSA 2006-33/CVE-2006-2786: HTTP response smuggling vulnerability in
   Mozilla Firefox, when used with certain proxy servers, allows remote
   attackers to cause Firefox to interpret certain responses as if they
   were responses from two different sites via (1) invalid HTTP response
   headers with spaces between the header name and the colon, which might
   not be ignored in some cases, or (2) HTTP 1.1 headers through an HTTP
   1.0 proxy, which are ignored by the proxy but processed by the client.

   MFSA 2006-34/CVE-2006-2785: Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability
   in Mozilla Firefox allows user-complicit remote attackers to inject
   arbitrary web script or HTML by tricking a user into (1) performing a
   "View Image" on a broken image in which the SRC attribute contains
   a Javascript URL, or (2) selecting "Show only this frame" on a frame
   whose SRC attribute contains a Javascript URL.

   MFSA 2006-35/CVE-2006-2775: Mozilla Firefox associates XUL attributes
   with the wrong URL under certain unspecified circumstances, which
   might allow remote attackers to bypass restrictions by causing a
   persisted string to be associated with the wrong URL.

   MFSA 2006-36/CVE-2006-2784: The PLUGINSPAGE functionality in Mozilla
   Firefox allows remote user-complicit attackers to execute privileged
   code by tricking a user into installing missing plugins and selecting
   the "Manual Install" button, then using nested javascript: URLs.

   MFSA 2006-37/CVE-2006-2776: Certain privileged UI code in Mozilla
   Firefox calls content-defined setters on an object prototype, which
   allows remote attackers to execute code at a higher privilege than
   intended.

   MFSA 2006-38/CVE-2006-2778: The crypto.signText function in Mozilla
   Firefox allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain
   optional Certificate Authority name arguments, which causes an invalid
   array index and triggers a buffer overflow.

   MFSA 2006-39/CVE-2006-1942: Mozilla Firefox allows user-complicit
   remote attackers to open local files via a web page with an IMG
   element containing a SRC attribute with a non-image file:// URL, then
   tricking the user into selecting View Image for the broken image,
   as demonstrated using a ,wma file to launch Windows Media Player,
   or by referencing an "alternate web page."

   MFSA 2006-40/CVE-2006-2781: Double-free vulnerability in Mozilla
   Thunderbird before 1.5.0.4 and SeaMonkey before 1.0.2 allows remote
   attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) and possibly execute
   arbitrary code via a VCard that contains invalid base64 characters.

   MFSA-2006-41/CVE-2006-2782: Firefox does not fix all test cases
   associated with CVE-2006-1729, which allows remote attackers to read
   arbitrary files by inserting the target filename into a text box,
   then turning that box into a file upload control.

   MFSA 2006-42/CVE-2006-2783: Mozilla Firefox strips the Unicode
   Byte-order-Mark (BOM) from a UTF-8 page before the page is passed
   to the parser, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site
   scripting (XSS) attacks via a BOM sequence in the middle of a dangerous
   tag such as SCRIPT.

   MFSA 2006-43/CVE-2006-2777: Unspecified vulnerability in Mozilla
   Firefox allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by using
   the nsISelectionPrivate interface of the Selection object to add a
   SelectionListener and create notifications that are executed in a
   privileged context.

2) Solution or Work-Around

   There is no known workaround, please install the update packages.

3) Special Instructions and Notes

   Please close and restart all running instances of Firefox, Thunderbird
   or Seamonkey after the update.

4) Package Location and Checksums

   The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST
   Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required and
   automatically performs the necessary steps to verify and install them.
   Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually
   and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this
   announcement. Then install the packages using the command

     rpm -Fhv 

   to apply the update, replacing  with the filename of the
   downloaded RPM package.

6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information

  - Announcement authenticity verification:

    SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on Web
    sites. The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is
    guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE
    security announcements are published with a valid signature.

    To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file
    and run the command

      gpg --verify 

    replacing  with the name of the file where you saved the
    announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like:

      gpg: Signature made  using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9
      gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team "

    where  is replaced by the date the document was signed.

    If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can
    import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the
    command

      gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc

  - Package authenticity verification:

    SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the
    world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free
    and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of
    a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered
    with.

    There are two verification methods that can be used independently from
    each other to prove the authenticity of a downloaded file or RPM package:

    1) Using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package
    2) MD5 checksums as provided in this announcement

    1) The internal rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the
       authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command

        rpm -v --checksig 

       to verify the signature of the package, replacing  with the
       filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it
       contains a valid signature from build@suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA.

       This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on
       RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during
       installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at
       the end of this announcement.

    2) If you need an alternative means of verification, use the md5sum
       command to verify the authenticity of the packages. Execute the command

         md5sum 

       after you downloaded the file from a SUSE FTP server or its mirrors.
       Then compare the resulting md5sum with the one that is listed in the
       SUSE security announcement. Because the announcement containing the
       checksums is cryptographically signed (by security@suse.de), the
       checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package if the
       signature of the announcement is valid. Note that the md5 sums
       published in the SUSE Security Announcements are valid for the
       respective packages only. Newer versions of these packages cannot be
       verified.
