Description Dax 2006-11-08 02:49:15 UTC
multiple vulnerabilities fixed in seamonkey 1.0.6

 http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-65.html
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.

Title: Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (rv:1.8.0.7)
Impact: Critical
Announced: September 14, 2006
Reporter: Mozilla Developers
Products: Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey

Fixed in: Firefox 1.5.0.7
  Thunderbird 1.5.0.7
  SeaMonkey 1.0.5
Description
As part of the Firefox 1.5.0.7 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.

We thank Bernd Mielke, Georgi Guninski, Igor Bukanov, Jesse Ruderman, Martijn
Wargers, Mats Palmgren, Olli Pettay, shutdown, and Weston Carloss for
discovering and reporting these crashes.

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.

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.

This is not needed, your wasting out time with emails asking for us to advise when we are working to get the updates into the tree.

Please bear with him as he's a Padawan in the SecTeam and not a senior bug wrangler yet. You all have been very kind on my stumbling attempts, so I just beg you to have the same patience with Daxomatic. Thanks a lot!
