SA Document Body
Multiple Security Vulnerabilities in Mozilla 1.4 and 1.7 for Solaris and
for Sun JDS for Linux
1. Impact
Multiple security vulnerabilities are present in Mozilla version 1.4
(Solaris 8 and 9) and Mozilla version 1.7 (Solaris 8, 9 and 10) and
under Sun Java Desktop System (JDS) for Linux. (Mozilla can be used
as a web browser and editor, an irc client, an email client, and a
news client).
These issues may allow a remote unprivileged user who controls a
website that is visited by a local user using the Mozilla browser to
execute code with elevated privileges, gain unauthorized access to
data stored on the local machine, or cause a Denial of Service (DoS)
to the Mozilla browser.
Bug 6415128 - For Mozilla 1.4 and 1.7:
Mozilla contains an integer overflow flaw within the CSS letter
spacing property. This flaw may result in a remote user executing
arbitrary code with the privileges of the local user when an affected
site is visited.
This issue is described in the following documents:
http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/mfsa2006-22.html
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/179014

Bug 6415131 - For Mozilla 1.4 and 1.7:
Mozilla contains a flaw within the XBL bindings which may allow a
remote user the ability to execute JavaScript code within the XBL
bindings with the privileges of the local user when an affected site
is visited.
This issue is described in the following documents:
http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/mfsa2006-16.html
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/488774
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2006-1733
Bug 6415133 - For Mozilla 1.4 and 1.7:
Mozilla contains a flaw within the "Object.watch" method which may
allow a remote user the ability to execute arbitrary JavaScript code
with the privileges of the local user when an affected site is
visited.

which may allow a remote user the ability to execute arbitrary
JavaScript code with the privileges of the local user when an affected
site is visited.
This issue is described in the following documents:
http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/mfsa2006-14.html
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/813230

Bug 6412730 - For Mozilla 1.4 and 1.7:
Mozilla contains a flaw within the "XULDocument.presist" method which
may allow a remote attacker to inject XML into the localstore
(localstore.rdf) when an affected site is visited. The injected XML
might be acted upon at startup thus executing arbitrary code.
This issue is described in the following documents:
http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/mfsa2006-05.html
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/592425
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2006-0296
Bug 6424493 - For Mozilla 1.4 and 1.7:

Bug 6424567 - For Mozilla 1.4 and 1.7:
Mozilla contains a flaw with the handling of layered transparent
images that may allow a malicious site to convince visitors to save
the image and then fool them by uploading an executable instead.
Should the user later double-click the saved "image" within a file
manager, it would be executing with the privileges of the local user.
This issue is described in the following documents:
http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/mfsa2006-13.html

may allow a malicious site to spoof a local user into thinking they
are still at a secure site.
This issue is described in the following documents:
http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/mfsa2006-12.html
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1740

Bug 6415142 - For Mozilla 1.4 and 1.7:
Mozilla contains several flaws that may allow a remote attacker to
execute arbitrary code. There exists a buffer overflow within the CSS
border-rendering code that may allow the remote attacker to execute
arbitrary code. There exists a 16-bit integer overflow that may allow
a remote attacker to execute the supplied data as JavaScript bytecode.
When programmatically changing the "-moz-grid" and "-moz-grid-group"
display styles, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary
code. There exists a buffer overflow within the
"InstallTrigger.install()" method that was introduced by the fix for
mfsa2005-58.
This issue is described in the following documents:

JavaScript code into a new site using a modal alert. This
vulnerability may allow an attacker to steal confidential information
that the new site might contain.
This issue is described in the following documents:
http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/mfsa2006-09.html
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-1741

To determine the release of JDS for Linux installed on a system, the
following command can be run:
% cat /etc/sun-release
Sun Java Desktop System, Release 2 -build 10b (GA)
Assembled 30 March 2004
To determine the version of Mozilla on a Linux system, the following
command (on JDS for Linux) can be run:
% rpm -qf /usr/bin/mozilla
mozilla-1.4.1-224b
3. Symptoms
There are no predictable symptoms that would indicate the described
issues have been exploited.
4. Workaround
Different issues will require different workarounds, as described in
the following options/examples:
A) Disable JavaScript. To do this in Mozilla:
1. Open the Preferences dialog from the Edit menu
2. Select the Advanced tree
3. Select the Scripts & Plug-ins leaf
4. Uncheck the Navigator and Mail & Newsgroups check boxes
5. Click the OK button
Or:
1. Enter "about:config" in the location field
2. Enter "javascript.enabled" in the search field
3. Double click on the value and change it to false
4. Click the OK button
B) Visit only trusted web sites.
C) Use the default mail message embedding when forwarding a mail
message. This can be done by setting the forwarding preference:
1. Open the Preferences dialog from the Edit menu
2. Select the Mail & Newsgroups tree
3. Select the Composition leaf
4. Set the Forward messages list to "As Attachment"
5. Click the OK button
D) Only download images from trusted web sites.
E) Turn off the "Entering encrypted site" warning dialog. To do this
in Mozilla:
1. Enter "about:config" in the location field
2. Enter "security.warn" in the search field
3. Double click on each "security.warn" and change the value to false
4. click the OK button
F) Turn off the browser history. To do this in Mozilla:
1. Open the Preferences dialog from the Edit menu
2. Select the Navigator tree
3. On the History leaf, set the "remember duration" to 0 days
Or:
1. Enter "about:config" in the location field
2. Enter "browser.history_expires_day" in the search field
3. Double click on the value and change it to 0
4. Click the OK button
G) Remove the "history.dat" file. This can be done by running the
following commands:
% cd $HOME/.mozilla/<profile>/*
% rm history.dat
All of these issues can be resolved by downloading and
installing/upgrading to the latest Mozilla version from the Mozilla
community website at http://www.mozilla.org/releases/#1.7.13
Linux Platform
* Sun Java Desktop System (JDS) Release 2 with the updated RPMs
available at:
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0.1&os=linux&lang=e
