1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion
The Mozilla Firefox browser is updated to version 3.0.6 fixing various
security and stability issues.
MFSA 2009-01 / CVE-2009-0352 / CVE-2009-0353: Mozilla developers identified and fixed several stability bugs in the browser engine used
in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these crashes
showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances and
we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be
exploited to run arbitrary code.
MFSA 2009-02 / CVE-2009-0354: Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4
reported that a chrome XBL method can be used in conjunction with
window.eval to execute arbitrary JavaScript within the context of
another website, violating the same origin policy. Firefox 2 releases
are not affected.
MFSA 2009-03 / CVE-2009-0355: Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4
reported that a form input controls type could be changed during the
restoration of a closed tab. An attacker could set an input controls
text value to the path of a local file whose location was known to
the attacker. If the tab was then closed and the victim persuaded
to re-open it, upon restoring the tab the attacker could use this
vulnerability to change the input type to file. Scripts in the page
could then automatically submit the form and steal the contents of
the user's local file.
MFSA 2009-04 / CVE-2009-0356: Mozilla security researcher Georgi
Guninski reported that the fix for an earlier vulnerability reported
by Liu Die Yu using local internet shortcut files to access other
sites (MFSA 2008-47) could be bypassed by redirecting to a privileged
about: URI such as about:plugins. If an attacker could get a victim
to download two files, a malicious HTML file and a .desktop shortcut
file, they could have the HTML document load a privileged chrome
document via the shortcut and both documents would be treated as same
origin. This vulnerability could potentially be used by an attacker
to inject arbitrary code into the chrome document and execute with
chrome privileges. Because this attack has relatively high complexity,
the severity of this issue was determined to be moderate.
MFSA 2009-05 / CVE-2009-0357: Developer and Mozilla community
member Wladimir Palant reported that cookies marked HTTPOnly were
readable by JavaScript via the XMLHttpRequest.getResponseHeader and
XMLHttpRequest.getAllResponseHeaders APIs. This vulnerability bypasses
the security mechanism provided by the HTTPOnly flag which intends to
restrict JavaScript access to document.cookie.
The fix prevents the XMLHttpRequest feature from accessing the
Set-Cookie and Set-Cookie2 headers of any response whether or not
the HTTPOnly flag was set for those cookies.
MFSA 2009-06 / CVE-2009-0358: Paul Nel reported that certain HTTP
directives to not cache web pages, Cache-Control: no-store and
Cache-Control: no-cache for HTTPS pages, were being ignored by
Firefox 3. On a shared system, applications relying upon these HTTP
directives could potentially expose private data. Another user on the
system could use this vulnerability to view improperly cached pages
containing private data by navigating the browser back.
Fixes for older Firefox and other Mozilla versions are being worked on.
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 Mozilla Firefox 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.
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.
- SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may
subscribe:
opensuse-security@opensuse.org
- General Linux and SUSE security discussion.
All SUSE security announcements are sent to this list.
To subscribe, send an e-mail to
