Title: USN-930-6 -- firefox, firefox-3.0, xulrunner-1.9.2 vulnerability
Description: USN-957-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox and Xulrunner. Daniel Holbert discovered that the fix for CVE-2010-1214 introduced a regression which did not properly initialize a plugin pointer. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious site, a remote attacker could use this to crash the browser or run arbitrary code as the user invoking the program. This update fixes the problem. Original advisory details: If was discovered that Firefox could be made to access freed memory. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious site, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Several flaws were discovered in the browser engine of Firefox. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious site, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. A flaw was discovered in the way plugin instances interacted. An attacker could potentially exploit this and use one plugin to access freed memory from a second plugin to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. An integer overflow was discovered in Firefox. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious site, an attacker could overflow a buffer and cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. Martin Barbella discovered an integer overflow in an XSLT node sorting routine. An attacker could exploit this to overflow a buffer and cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program. Michal Zalewski discovered that the focus behavior of Firefox could be subverted. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious site, a remote attacker could use this to capture keystrokes. Ilja van Sprundel discovered that the "Content-Disposition: attachment" HTTP header was ignored when "Content-Type: multipart" was also present. Under certain circumstances, this could potentially lead to cross-site scripting attacks. Amit Klein discovered that Firefox did not seed its random number generator often enough. An attacker could exploit this to identify and track users across different web sites
