| 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, Kai Engert, Martijn Wargers, Mats Palmgren and Paul Nickerson discovered crashes in the layout engine, which might allow the execution of arbitrary code. Carsten Book, Wesley Garland, Igor Bukanov, moz_bug_r_a4, shutdown, Philip Taylor and tgirmann discovered crashes in the JavaScript engine, which might allow the execution of arbitrary code. hong and Gregory Fleischer discovered that file input focus vulnerabilities in the file upload control could allow information disclosure of local files. moz_bug_r_a4 and Boris Zbarsky discovered several vulnerabilities in JavaScript handling, which could allow privilege escalation. Justin Dolske discovered that the password storage mechanism could be abused by malicious web sites to corrupt existing saved passwords. Gerry Eisenhaur and moz_bug_r_a4 discovered that a directory traversal vulnerability in chrome: URI handling could lead to information disclosure. David Bloom discovered a race condition in the image handling of designMode elements, which can lead to information disclosure and potentially the execution of arbitrary code. Michal Zalewski discovered that timers protecting security-sensitive dialogs (by disabling dialog elements until a timeout is reached) could be bypassed by window focus changes through JavaScript. It was discovered that malformed content declarations of saved attachments could prevent a user from opening local files with a .txt file name, resulting in minor denial of service. Martin Straka discovered that insecure stylesheet handling during redirects could lead to information disclosure. Emil Ljungdahl and Lars-Olof Moilanen discovered that phishing protections could be bypassed with div elements. The Mozilla products from the old stable distribution (sarge) are no longer supported with security updates. |
