Mozilla Firefox < 3.0.14 / 3.5.3 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Log Correlation Engine Plugin ID 801311

Synopsis

The remote host is vulnerable to multiple attack vectors.

Description

The installed version of Mozilla Firefox is earlier than 3.0.14 / 3.5.3. Such versions are potentially affected by multiple issues :

- Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities in the browser engine. (MFSA 2009-47)

- When security modules are added or removed via pkcs11.addmodule or pkcs11.deletemodule, the resulting dialogue was not sufficiently informative which could lead an attacker to entice a victim to install a malicious PKCS11 module. Note that Firefox 3.5.x releases are not affected. (MFSA 2009-38)

- The columns of a XUL tree element could be manipulated in a particular way which would leave a pointer owned by the column pointing to freed memory. (MFSA 2009-49)

- The default Windows font used to render the locationbar and other text fields was improperly displaying certain Unicode characters with tall line-height. (MFSA 2009-50)

- The 'BrowserFeedWriter' could be leveraged to run JavaScript code from web content with elevated privileges. (MFSA 2009-51)

Solution

Upgrade to Mozilla Firefox 3.5.3/3.0.14 or later.
