   Solution Type: Sun Alert
   Solution  238492 :   Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in Solaris 10
   Firefox may Allow Execution of Arbitrary Code and Access to
   Unauthorized Data          
   Bug ID: 6663845, 6681417, 6695896

   Product
   Firefox v2.0, Solaris 10 Operating System

   Date of Resolved Release: 09-Jun-2008

   SA Document Body
   Multiple security vulnerabilities in the firefox(1) application (see 
   below for details)

   1. Impact

   Multiple security vulnerabilities in the firefox(1) application shipped 
   with Solaris 10 may allow local or remote unprivileged user to execute 
   arbitrary code on a remote machine with the privileges of a local user or 
   trick local users into confirming an unsafe action, such as remote file 
   execution or gain access to unauthorised data and cause firefox(1) 
   application to crash, or conduct Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks on 
   sites which allow users to upload pictures, archives, or other files. The 
   ability to crash the firefox(1) application is a type of Denial of 
   Service (Dos). 
   
   The following Mozilla advisories describe the vulnerabities:

   2. Contributing Factors

   These issues can occur in the following releases:
   SPARC Platform
     *
   Firefox 2.0 for Solaris 10 without patch 125539-04
     *
   OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_88 or earlier

   x86 Platform
     *
   Firefox 2.0 for Solaris 10 without patch 125540-04
     *
   OpenSolaris based upon builds snv_88 or earlier

   Note: Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 do not ship Firefox and hence are
   not affected by these issues.
   Note: OpenSolaris distributions may include additional bug fixes above
   and beyond the build from which it was derived.
   The base build can be derived as follows:
    $uname -a
    SunOS hostname 5.11 snv_86 i86pc i386 i86pc

   3. Symptoms

   There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the described 
   issues have been exploited.
