SeaMonkey < 1.1.12 Multiple Vulnerabilities
medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 4693
Synopsis
A web browser on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The installed version of SeaMonkey is affected by various security issues :- Using a specially crafted UTF-8 URL in a hyperlink, an attacker might be able to exploit a stack buffer overflow in the Mozilla URL parsing routes to execute arbitrary code (MFSA 2008-37).
- It is possible to bypass the same-origin check in 'nsXMLDocument: : OnChannelRedirect()' (MFSA 2008-38).
- An attacker can cause the content window to move while the mouse is being clicked, causing an item to be dragged rather than clicked-on (MFSA 2008-40).
- Privilege escalation is possible via 'XPCnativeWrapper' pollution (MFSA 2008-41).
- There are several stability bugs in the browser engine that may lead to crashes with evidence of memory corruption (MFSA 2008-42).
- Certain BOM characters and low surrogate characters, if HTML-escaped, are stripped from JavaScript code before it is executed, which could allow for cross-site scripting attacks (MFSA 2008-43).
- The 'resource: ' protocol allows directory traversal on Linux when using URL-encoded slashes, and it can by used to bypass restrictions on local HTML files (MFSA 2008-44).
- A bug in the XBM decoder allows random small chunks of uninitialized memory to be read (MFSA 2008-45).
