1. Impact Multiple security vulnerabilities in Mozilla may result in
one or more of the following issues:
1. A buffer overflow exists that may allow a a remote unprivileged
user the ability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a
local user when that local user has loaded a Portable Network Graphics
(PNG) format image file supplied by an untrusted remote user.
This issue is described in the following document:
* [2]http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0687
2. An integer overflow and a heap corruption exists in JavaScript that
may allow an unprivileged user the ability to execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of a local user running Mozilla.
This issue is described in the following document:
* [3]http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0722
3. A heap overflow exists that could allow a malicious POP3 server to
send a carefully crafted response that may allow a remote unprivileged
user the ability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a
local user running Mozilla.
This issue is described in the following document:
* [4]http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0757
4. Additional heap overflows and double frees exist that could allow a
malicious POP3 server to send a carefully crafted response that may
cause a Denial of Service (DOS) attack for the client or may allow a
remote unprivileged user the ability to execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the local user running Mozilla.
This issue is described in the following document:
* [5]https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245066
5. It may be possible to import an invalid CA certificate with a
Domain Name the same as that of the built-in CA root certificates.
This could cause a denial of service (DOS) to SSL pages.
This issue is described in the following document:
* [6]http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0758
6. By using a NULL character (%00) in a FTP URL, Mozilla can be
confused into opening a resource as a different MIME type. This may
allow an unprivileged user to gain the privileges of a local user
running Mozilla.
This issue is described in the following document:
* [7]http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0760
7. Mozilla may allow a malicious website to inject content into a
frame. This flaw is also known as the "frame injection" vulnerability.
This issue is described in the following document:
* [8]http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0718
8. Mozilla may allow a malicious webpage to use a redirect sequence to
spoof the security lock icon thus causing the webpage to appear to be
encrypted.
This issue is described in the following document:
* [9]http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0761
9. Mozilla may allow malicious websites to install arbitrary
extensions by using interactive events to manipulate the "XP Install
Security" dialog box.
This issue is described in the following document:
* [10]http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-076
2
10. Mozilla contains a caching flaw which may allow malicious websites
to spoof certificates of trusted websites via redirects and Javascript
that uses the "onunload" method.
This issue is described in the following document:
* [11]http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-076
3
11. Mozilla contains a flaw that allows malicious websites to hijack
the user interface via the "chrome" flag and XML User Interface
Language (XUL) files.
This issue is described in the following document:
* [12]http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-076
4
12. Mozilla may allow a malicious website to spoof Mozilla into
thinking it was accessing a trusted host. This is due to a flaw when
verifying a certificate where as the hostname checked is not the fully
qualified domain name (FQDN).
This issue is described in the following document:
* [13]http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-076
5
13. Mozilla contains a flaw that could allow malicious javascript to
obtain or modify sensitive information from secure sites by dragging
links onto other frames or pages.
This issue is described in the following document:
* [14]https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=250862
14. An integer overflow exists that may allow a remote unprivileged
user to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a local user
when that local user has loaded an extremely wide Bitmap (.bmp) format
image file supplied by an untrusted user.
This issue is described in the following document:
* [15]https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255067
15. Mozilla contains a flaw that could allow malicious javascript code
to read and write sensitive data that the user might have copied into
the clipboard.
This issue is described in the following document:
* [16]https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257523
16. A heap overflow exists in the "send page" function that may allow
a remote unprivileged user the ability to execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of a local user when that user attempts to forward
content to others.
This issue is described in the following document:
* [17]https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258005
17. A buffer overflow exists when displaying VCards that may allow a
remote unprivileged user the ability to execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of a local user.
This issue is described in the following document:
* [18]https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257314
2. Contributing Factors These issues can occur on the following
platforms:
SPARC Platform
* Solaris 8
* Solaris 9
x86 Platform
* Solaris 8
* Solaris 9
Linux
* Sun Java Desktop System (JDS) 2003
* Sun Java Desktop System (JDS) Release 2 without the updated RPMs
(patch-118492-02)
Note: Solaris 7 is not affected by these issues.
The described issues only occur with the following Mozilla versions:
* mozilla-1.4.1-221 or earlier
* mozilla-mail-1.4.1-223 or earlier
To determine the version of Mozilla installed on a system, the
following command can be used:
% /usr/sfw/bin/mozilla -version
Mozilla 1.4, (Sun Java Desktop System; Solaris), build 2004041404
To determine the release of JDS for Linux installed on a system, the
following command can be used:
% cat /etc/sun-release
Sun Java Desktop System, Release 2 -build 10b (GA)
Assembled 30 March 2004
To determine the version of Mozilla for Linux, run the following
command on JDS:
% rpm -qf /usr/bin/mozilla /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4/components/libmsgnews.so
mozilla-1.4.1-221
mozilla-mail-1.4.1-223
3. Symptoms There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the
described issues have been exploited.
