firefox security update (RHSA-2009-0315)
Original Release Date: March 5, 2009
Last Revised: March 5, 2009
Number: ASA-2009-069
Risk Level: Low
Advisory Version: 1.0
Advisory Status: Interim
1. Overview:
Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser.
Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web
page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names
CVE-2009-0040, CVE-2009-0771, CVE-2009-0772, CVE-2009-0773, CVE-2009-0774 and
CVE-2009-0775 to these issues.
Several flaws were found in the way malformed content was processed. A website
containing specially-crafted content could, potentially, trick a Firefox user
into surrendering sensitive information. The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2009-0776 and
CVE-2009-0777 to these issues.
More information about these vulnerabilities can be found in the security
advisory issued by RedHat Linux:
