Detail
Vulnerability Note VU#559977Mozilla products vulnerable to memory corruption in the browser engineOverviewA number of vulnerabilities in the Mozilla browser engine may allow the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service.I. DescriptionThe Mozilla browser engine contains several vulnerabilities that may result in memory corruption. The impact of this memory corruption in specific cases is unclear. According to Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory MFSA 2007-29:As part of the Firefox 2.0.0.8 update releases Mozilla developers fixed many bugs to improve the stability of the product. Some of these crashes showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. Note that the Thunderbird email client also uses the Mozilla browser engine and could be affected by these vulnerabilities if JavaScript is enabled (it is disabled by default). II. ImpactPotential impacts of these vulnerabilities include remote execution of arbitrary code and denial of service.III. SolutionUpgradeThese vulnerabilities are addressed in Firefox 2.0.0.8, Thunderbird 2.0.0.8, and SeaMonkey 1.1.5.
