Background ========= Mozilla Firefox is the popular next-generation browser from the Mozilla project. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-www/mozilla-firefox < 1.0.1 > = 1.0.1 2 net-www/mozilla-firefox-bin < 1.0.1 > = 1.0.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Description ========== The following vulnerabilities were found and fixed in Mozilla Firefox: * Michael Krax reported that plugins can be used to load privileged content and trick the user to interact with it (CAN-2005-0232, CAN-2005-0527) * Michael Krax also reported potential spoofing or cross-site-scripting issues through overlapping windows, image drag-and-drop, and by dropping javascript: links on tabs (CAN-2005-0230, CAN-2005-0231, CAN-2005-0591) * Daniel de Wildt and Gael Delalleau discovered a memory overwrite in a string library (CAN-2005-0255) * Wind Li discovered a possible heap overflow in UTF8 to Unicode conversion (CAN-2005-0592) * Eric Johanson reported that Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) features allow homograph attacks (CAN-2005-0233) * Mook, Doug Turner, Kohei Yoshino and M. Deaudelin reported various ways of spoofing the SSL "secure site" indicator (CAN-2005-0593) * Matt Brubeck reported a possible Autocomplete data leak (CAN-2005-0589) * Georgi Guninski discovered that XSLT can include stylesheets from arbitrary hosts (CAN-2005-0588) * Secunia discovered a way of injecting content into a popup opened by another website (CAN-2004-1156) * Phil Ringnalda reported a possible way to spoof Install source with user:pass@host (CAN-2005-0590) * Jakob Balle from Secunia discovered a possible way of spoofing the Download dialog source (CAN-2005-0585) * Christian Schmidt reported a potential spoofing issue in HTTP auth prompt tab (CAN-2005-0584) * Andreas Sanblad from Secunia discovered a possible way of spoofing the Download dialog using the Content-Disposition header (CAN-2005-0586) * Finally, Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered that Firefox insecurely creates temporary filenames in /tmp/plugtmp (CAN-2005-0578) Impact ===== * By setting up malicious websites and convincing users to follow untrusted links or obey very specific drag-and-drop or download instructions, attackers may leverage the various spoofing issues to fake other websites to get access to confidential information, push users to download malicious files or make them interact with their browser preferences. * The temporary directory issue allows local attackers to overwrite arbitrary files with the rights of another local user. * The overflow issues, while not thought to be exploitable, mayallow a malicious downloaded page to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user viewing the page. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All Firefox users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =net-www/mozilla-firefox-1.0.1" All Firefox binary users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "> =net-www/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.1" References ========= [ 1 ] CAN-2004-1156 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2004-1156 [ 2 ] CAN-2005-0230 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0230 [ 3 ] CAN-2005-0231 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0231 [ 4 ] CAN-2005-0232 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0232 [ 5 ] CAN-2005-0233 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0233 [ 6 ] CAN-2005-0255 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0255 [ 7 ] CAN-2005-0527 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0527 [ 8 ] CAN-2005-0578 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0578 [ 9 ] CAN-2005-0584 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0584 [ 10 ] CAN-2005-0585 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0585 [ 11 ] CAN-2005-0586 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0586 [ 12 ] CAN-2005-0588 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0588 [ 13 ] CAN-2005-0589 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0589 [ 14 ] CAN-2005-0590 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0590 [ 15 ] CAN-2005-0591 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0591 [ 16 ] CAN-2005-0592 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0592 [ 17 ] CAN-2005-0593 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-CAN-2005-0593 [ 18 ] Mozilla Security Advisories https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/ Availability =========== This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200503-10 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
