1. Impact

   Multiple security vulnerabilities are present in Mozilla version 1.7
   for Solaris 8, 9 and 10. These vulnerabilities may allow a remote
   unprivileged user who controls a website that is visited by a local
   user using the Mozilla browser, or in some cases by sending an email
   that is read by a local user using Mozilla, to execute arbitrary code
   with the privileges of the user running Mozilla.

   Mozilla can be used as a web browser and editor, an irc client, an
   email client and a news client.

   For Mozilla 1.7 (Solaris 8, 9, and 10):

   Bug 6415123

   Mozilla contains a flaw within the "crypto.generateCRMFRequest" method
   which may allow a remote user to execute arbitrary code with the
   privileges of the local user, including the installation of unknown
   software.

   This issue is described in the following documents:

   http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/mfsa2006-24.html

   CERT VU# 932734 at http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/932734

   CVE-2006-1728 at
   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2006-1728


   Bug 6447020

   Web content could access the nsISelectionPrivate interface of the
   "Selection" object and use it to add a SelectionListener. The listener
   would be called when the user did a "Find" on the page or a "select
   all". These notifications created in a privileged environment could
   result in arbitrary code execution.

   This issue is described in the following documents:

   http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-43.html

   CERT VU# 237257 at http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/237257

   CVE-2006-2777 at
   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2006-2777


   Bug 6447021

   An array index bug in crypto.signText() that results in overflowing an
   allocated array of pointers by two when optional Certificate Authority
   name arguments are passed in.

   This issue is described in the following documents:

   http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-38.html

   CERT VU#421529 at http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/421529

   CVE-2006-2778 at
   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2006-2778


   Bug 6458750

   A VCard attachment with a malformed base64 field (such as a photo) can
   trigger a heap buffer overwrite, which can be exploited.

   This issue is described in the following documents:

   http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-49.html

   CERT VU#897540 at http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/897540

   CVE-2006-3804 at
   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2006-3804


   Bug 6458753

   Potential integer overflow issues with long strings in the toSource()
   methods of the Object, Array and String objects as well as string
   function arguments.

   This issue is described in the following documents:

   http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-50.html

   CERT VU#655892 at http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/655892

   CVE-2006-3806 at
   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2006-3806


   Bug 6458754

   Java script constructors may be changed to return reference to
   privileged objects which may be used to execute attacker supplied
   code.

   This issue is described in the following documents:

   http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-51.html

   CERT VU#687396 at http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/687396

   CVE-2006-3807 at
   http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2006-3807

2. Contributing Factors

   These issues can occur in the following releases:

   SPARC Platform
     * Mozilla 1.7 (for Solaris 8 and 9) without patch 120671-03
     * Mozilla 1.7 (for Solaris 10) without patch 119115-21

   x86 Platform
     * Mozilla 1.7 (for Solaris 8 and 9) without patch 120672-03
     * Mozilla 1.7 (for Solaris 10) without patch 119116-21

   Note: Mozilla 1.4 may be vulnerable to one or more of these security
   issues. Customers are advised to upgrade to Mozilla 1.7 to remedy
   these issues.

   To determine the version of Mozilla on a Solaris system, the following
   command can be run:
    % /usr/sfw/bin/mozilla -version
    Mozilla 1.7, (Sun Java Desktop System), build 2005031721

3. Symptoms

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

4. Relief/Workaround

   Issues pertaining to JavaScript may be worked around by disabling
   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

   There is no workaround for those issues mentioned which do not pertain
   to JavaScript.

5. Resolution

   These issues are addressed in the following releases:

   SPARC Platform
     * Mozilla 1.7 (for Solaris 8 and 9) with patch 120671-03 or
       later
     * Mozilla 1.7 (for Solaris 10) with patch 119115-21 or later

   x86 Platform
     * Mozilla 1.7 (for Solaris 8 and 9) with patch 120672-03 or
       later
     * Mozilla 1.7 (for Solaris 10) with patch 119116-21 or later
