3 vulnerabilities fixed in firefox 1.5.0.8


http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-67.html
Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory 2006-67
Title: Running Script can be recompiled
Impact: Critical
Announced: November 7, 2006
Reporter: shutdown
Products: Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey

Fixed in: Firefox 1.5.0.8
  Thunderbird 1.5.0.8
  SeaMonkey 1.0.6
Description
shutdown demonstrated that it was possible to modify a Script object while it was executing, potentially leading to the execution of arbitrary JavaScript bytecode.

Note: Thunderbird shares the browser engine with Firefox and could be vulnerable if JavaScript were to be enabled in mail. This is not the default setting and we strongly discourage users from enabling JavaScript in mail.
Workaround
Disable JavaScript until you can upgrade to a fixed version. Do not enable JavaScript in mail clients such as Thunderbird.

Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory 2006-66
Title: RSA Signature Forgery (variant)
Impact: Critical
Announced: November 7, 2006
Reporter: Ulrich Kuehn
Products: Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey

Fixed in: Firefox 1.5.0.8
  Thunderbird 1.5.0.8
  SeaMonkey 1.0.6
Description
MFSA 2006-60 reported that RSA digital signatures with a low exponent (typically 3) could be forged. This flaw was corrected in the Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) library version 3.11.3 used by Firefox 2.0 and current development versions of Mozilla clients.

Ulrich Kuehn reported that Firefox 1.5.0.7, which incorporated NSS version 3.10.2, was incompletely patched and remained vulnerable to a variant of this attack.
Workaround
None, upgrade to a fixed version.

Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory 2006-64
Title: Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.8.0.8)
Impact: Critical
Announced: November 7, 2006
Reporter: Mozilla Developers
Products: Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey

Fixed in: Firefox 1.5.0.8
  Thunderbird 1.5.0.8
  SeaMonkey 1.0.6
Description
As part of the Firefox 1.5.0.8 release we fixed several bugs to improve the stability of the product. Some of these were crashes that showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code with enough effort.

Note: Thunderbird shares the browser engine with Firefox and could be vulnerable if JavaScript were to be enabled in mail. This is not the default setting and we strongly discourage users from running JavaScript in mail. Without further investigation we cannot rule out the possibility that for some of these an attacker might be able to prepare memory for exploitation through some means other than JavaScript, such as large images or plugin data.
Workaround
Upgrade to the fixed versions. Do not enable JavaScript in Thunderbird or the mail portions of SeaMonkey.

Total agony is upon me once more.
Comment 2 Gergan Penkov 2006-11-08 08:05:17 UTC
at least this one is not relevant for gentoo:
MFSA 2006-60 reported that RSA digital signatures with a low exponent
(typically 3) could be forged. This flaw was corrected in the Mozilla Network
Security Services (NSS) library version 3.11.3 used by Firefox 2.0 and current
development versions of Mozilla clients.

Ulrich Kuehn reported that Firefox 1.5.0.7, which incorporated NSS version
3.10.2, was incompletely patched and remained vulnerable to a variant of this
attack.
Workaround
None, upgrade to a fixed version.

mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.8, mozilla-firefox-bin-1.5.0.8, on x86:

1) emerge fine
2) mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.8: dodoc: LEGAL does not exist
3) pass collision tests
4) work

Redhatter has been made aware and states "Hrmm... I think I'll be doing the Firefox build on the octane." Once that is complete this bug is closed :)

Shouldn't we also include CVE-2006-5748 and CVE-2006-5747?  They affect the same versions, and are related.
