Title:DSA-1707 iceweasel -- several vulnerabilities
Description:Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Iceweasel web browser, an unbranded version of the Firefox browser. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: Jesse Ruderman discovered that the layout engine is vulnerable to DoS attacks that might trigger memory corruption and an integer overflow. (MFSA 2008-60) Boris Zbarsky discovered that an information disclosure attack could be performed via XBL bindings. (MFSA 2008-61) It was discovered that attackers could run arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges via vectors related to the feed preview. (MFSA 2008-62) Marius Schilder discovered that it is possible to obtain sensible data via a XMLHttpRequest. (MFSA 2008-64) Chris Evans discovered that it is possible to obtain sensible data via a JavaScript URL. (MFSA 2008-65) Chip Salzenberg discovered possible phishing attacks via URLs with leading whitespaces or control characters. (MFSA 2008-66) Kojima Hajime and Jun Muto discovered that escaped null characters were ignored by the CSS parser and could lead to the bypass of protection mechanisms (MFSA 2008-67) It was discovered that it is possible to perform cross-site scripting attacks via an XBL binding to an "unloaded document." (MFSA 2008-68) It was discovered that it is possible to run arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges via unknown vectors. (MFSA 2008-68) moz_bug_r_a4 discovered that the session-restore feature does not properly sanitise input leading to arbitrary injections. This issue could be used to perform an XSS attack or run arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges. (MFSA 2008-69)
