Problem Description:

An updated firefox package that fixes various security bugs is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Problem description:

Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser.

A bug was found in the way Firefox handled synthetic events. It is possible that Web content could generate events such as keystrokes or mouse clicks that could be used to steal data or execute malicious JavaScript code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-2260 to this issue.

A bug was found in the way Firefox executed Javascript in XBL controls. It is possible for a malicious webpage to leverage this vulnerability to execute other JavaScript based attacks even when JavaScript is disabled. (CAN-2005-2261)

A bug was found in the way Firefox set an image as the desktop wallpaper. If a user chooses the "Set As Wallpaper..." context menu item on a specially crafted image, it is possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a victim's machine. (CAN-2005-2262)

A bug was found in the way Firefox installed its extensions. If a user can be tricked into visiting a malicious webpage, it may be possible to obtain sensitive information such as cookies or passwords. (CAN-2005-2263)

A bug was found in the way Firefox handled the _search target. It is possible for a malicious website to inject JavaScript into an already open webpage. (CAN-2005-2264)

A bug was found in the way Firefox handled certain Javascript functions. It is possible for a malicious web page to crash the browser by executing malformed Javascript code. (CAN-2005-2265)

A bug was found in the way Firefox handled multiple frame domains. It is possible for a frame as part of a malicious web site to inject content into a frame that belongs to another domain. This issue was previously fixed as CAN-2004-0718 but was accidentally disabled. (CAN-2005-1937)

A bug was found in the way Firefox handled child frames. It is possible for a malicious framed page to steal sensitive information from its parent page. (CAN-2005-2266)

A bug was found in the way Firefox opened URLs from media players. If a media player opens a URL that is JavaScript, JavaScript is executed with access to the currently open webpage. (CAN-2005-2267)

A design flaw was found in the way Firefox displayed alerts and prompts. Alerts and prompts were given the generic title [JavaScript Application] which prevented a user from knowing which site created them. (CAN-2005-2268)

A bug was found in the way Firefox handled DOM node names. It is possible for a malicious site to overwrite a DOM node name, allowing certain privileged chrome actions to execute the malicious JavaScript. (CAN-2005-2269)

A bug was found in the way Firefox cloned base objects. It is possible for Web content to navigate up the prototype chain to gain access to privileged chrome objects. (CAN-2005-2270)

Users of Firefox are advised to upgrade to this updated package that contains Firefox version 1.0.6 and is not vulnerable to these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

Title: RHE4 Firefox and Mozilla Javascript Dialog Box Spoofing
Description: Firefox before 1.0.5 and Mozilla before 1.7.9 does not clearly associate a Javascript dialog box with the web page that generated it, which allows remote attackers to spoof a dialog box from a trusted site and facilitates phishing attacks, aka the "Dialog Origin Spoofing Vulnerability."

Title: RHE4 Mozilla top.focus() Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
Description: Firefox before 1.0.5 and Mozilla before 1.7.9 allows a child frame to call top.focus and other methods in a parent frame, even when the parent is in a different domain, which violates the same origin policy and allows remote attackers to steal sensitive information such as cookies and passwords from web sites whose child frames do not verify that they are in the same domain as their parents.

Description: Firefox before 1.0.5, Mozilla before 1.7.9, and Netscape 8.0.2 and 7.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (access violation and crash), and possibly execute arbitrary code, by calling InstallVersion.compareTo with an object instead of a string.

Title: RHE4 Firefox and Mozilla DOM Node Spoofing
Description: Firefox before 1.0.5, Mozilla before 1.7.9, and Netscape 8.0.2 does not properly verify the associated types of DOM node names within the context of their namespaces, which allows remote attackers to modify certain tag properties, possibly leading to execution of arbitrary script or code, as demonstrated using an XHTML document with IMG tags with custom properties ("XHTML node spoofing").

Description: The browser user interface in Firefox before 1.0.5, Mozilla before 1.7.9, and Netscape 8.0.2 and 7.2 does not properly distinguish between user-generated events and untrusted synthetic events, which makes it easier for remote attackers to perform dangerous actions that normally could only be performed manually by the user.
