Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.15 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.10 on Mac OS X allow remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and create arbitrary socket connections via a crafted Java applet, related to the Java Embedding Plugin (JEP) and Java LiveConnect.

SeaMonkey was updated to version 1.1.11.

Problems fixed in the 1.1.11 update: CVE-2008-2785 MFSA 2008-34: An anonymous researcher, via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative program, reported a vulnerability in Mozilla's internal CSSValue array data structure. The vulnerability was caused by an insufficiently sized variable being used as a reference counter for CSS objects. By creating a very large number of references to a common CSS object, this counter could be overflowed which could cause a crash when the browser attempts to free the CSS object while still in use. An attacker could use this crash to run arbitrary code on the victim's computer.

Problems fixed in the 1.1.10 update: CVE-2008-2811 MFSA 2008-33:
Security research firm Astabis reported a vulnerability in Firefox 2 submitted through the iSIGHT Partners GVP Program by Greg McManus, Primary GVP Researcher. The reported crash in Mozilla's block reflow code could be used by an attacker to crash the browser and run arbitrary code on the victim's computer.

CVE-2008-2810 MFSA-2008-32: Mozilla community member Geoff reported a vulnerability in the way Mozilla opens URL files sent directly to the browser. He demonstrated that such files were opened with local file privileges, giving the remote content access to read from the local filesystem. If a user opened a bookmark to a malicious page in this manner, the page could potentially read from other local files on the user's computer.

CVE-2008-2809 MFSA-2008-31: Mozilla developer John G. Myers reported a weakness in the trust model used by Mozilla regarding alternate names on self-signed certificates. A user could be prompted to accept a self-signed certificate from a website which includes alt-name entries. If the user accepted the certificate, they would also extend trust to any alternate domains listed in the certificate, despite not being prompted about the additional domains. This technique could be used by an attacker to impersonate another server.

CVE-2008-2808 MFSA-2008-30: Mozilla contributor Masahiro Yamada reported that file URLs in directory listings were not being HTML escaped properly when the filenames contained particular characters.
This resulted in files from directory listings being opened in unintended ways or files not being able to be opened by the browser altogether.

CVE-2008-2807 MFSA-2008-29: Mozilla developer Daniel Glazman demonstrated that an improperly encoded .properties file in an add-on can result in uninitialized memory being used. This could potentially result in small chunks of data from other programs being exposed in the browser.

CVE-2008-2806 MFSA-2008-28: Security researcher Gregory Fleischer reported a vulnerability in the way Mozilla indicates the origin of a document to the Java plugin. This vulnerability could allow a malicious Java applet to bypass the same-origin policy and create arbitrary socket connections to other domains.

CVE-2008-2805 MFSA-2008-27: Opera developer Claudio Santambrogio reported a vulnerability which allows malicious content to force the browser into uploading local files to the remote server. This could be used by an attacker to steal arbitrary files from a victim's computer.

MFSA-2008-26: As a follow-up to vulnerability reported in MFSA 2008-12 Mozilla has checked similar constructs in the rest of the MIME handling code. Although no further buffer overflows were found we changed several function calls to use safer versions of the string routines that will be more robust in the face of future code changes.

CVE-2008-2803 MFSA-2008-25: Mozilla contributor moz_bug_r_a4 reported a vulnerability which allows arbitrary JavaScript to be executed with chrome privileges. The privilege escalation was possible because JavaScript loaded via mozIJSSubScriptLoader.loadSubScript() was not using XPCNativeWrappers when accessing content. This could allow an attacker to overwrite trusted objects with arbitrary code which would be executed with chrome privileges when the trusted objects were called by the browser.

CVE-2008-2802 MFSA-2008-24: Mozilla contributor moz_bug_r_a4 reported a vulnerability that allowed non-priviliged XUL documents to load chrome scripts from the fastload file. This could allow an attacker to run arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges.

CVE-2008-2801 MFSA-2008-23: Security researcher Collin Jackson reported a series of vulnerabilities which allow JavaScript to be injected into signed JARs and executed under the context of the JAR's signer. This could allow an attacker to run JavaScript in a victim's browser with the privileges of a different website, provided the attacker possesses a JAR signed by the other website.

CVE-2008-2800 MFSA-2008-22: Mozilla contributor moz_bug_r_a4 submitted a set of vulnerabilities which allow scripts from one document to be executed in the context of a different document. These vulnerabilities could be used by an attacker to violate the same-origin policy and perform an XSS attack.

CVE-2008-2798 CVE-2008-2799 MFSA-2008-21: Mozilla developers identified and fixed several stability bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. 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.

Versions of Mozilla Thunderbird prior to 2.0.0.16 are affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - Several stability bugs leading to crashes that, in some cases, show traces of memory corruption (MFSA 2008-21).
 - By taking advantage of the privilege level stored in the pre-compiled 'fastload' file, an attacker may be able to run arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges (MFSA 2008-24).
 - Arbitrary code execution is possible in 'mozIJSSubScriptLoader.loadSubScript()' (MFSA 2008-25).
 - Several function calls in the MIME handling code use unsafe versions of string routines (MFSA 2008-26).
 - An improperly encoded '.properties' file in an add-on can result in uninitialized memory being used, which could lead to data formerly used by other programs being exposed to the add-on code (MFSA 2008-29).
 - A weakness in the trust model regarding alt names on peer-trusted certs could lead to spoofing secure connections to any other site (MFSA 2008-31).
 - A crash in Mozilla's block reflow code could be used by an attacker to crash the browser and run arbitrary code on the victim's computer (MFSA 2008-33).
 - By creating a very large number of references to a common CSS object, an attacker can overflow the CSS reference counter, causing a crash when the browser attempts to free the CSS object while still in use and allowing for arbitrary code execution (MFSA 2008-34).

  - By taking advantage of the privilege level stored in the pre-compiled 'fastload' file, an attacker may be able to run arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges (MFSA 2008-24).
  - Arbitrary code execution is possible in 'mozIJSSubScriptLoader.loadSubScript()' (MFSA 2008-25).
  - An attacker can steal files from known locations on a victim's computer via originalTarget and DOM Range (MFSA 2008-27).
  - It is possible for a malicious Java applet to bypass the same-origin policy and create arbitrary socket connections to other domains (MFSA 2008-28).
  - An improperly encoded '.properties' file in an add-on can result in uninitialized memory being used, which could lead to data formerly used by other programs being exposed to the add-on code (MFSA 2008-29).
  - File URLs in directory listings are not properly HTML-escaped when the filenames contained particular characters (MFSA 2008-30).
  - A weakness in the trust model regarding alt names on peer-trusted certs could lead to spoofing secure connections to any other site (MFSA 2008-31).
  - URL shortcut files on Windows (for example, saved IE favorites) could be interpreted as if they were in the local file context when opened by Firefox, although the referenced remote content would be downloaded and displayed (MFSA 2008-32).
  - A crash in Mozilla's block reflow code could be used by an attacker to crash the browser and run arbitrary code on the victim's computer (MFSA 2008-33).

The installed version of Thunderbird is affected by various security issues :


  - Several stability bugs leading to crashes that, in some cases, show traces of memory corruption (MFSA 2008-21).

  - By taking advantage of the privilege level stored in the pre-compiled 'fastload' file, an attacker may be able to run arbitrary JavaScript code with chrome privileges (MFSA 2008-24).

  - Arbitrary code execution is possible in 'mozIJSSubScriptLoader.loadSubScript()' (MFSA 2008-25).

  - Several function calls in the MIME handling code use unsafe versions of string routines (MFSA 2008-26).

  - An improperly encoded '.properties' file in an add-on can result in uninitialized memory being used, which could lead to data formerly used by other programs being exposed to the add-on code (MFSA 2008-29).

  - A weakness in the trust model regarding alt names on peer-trusted certs could lead to spoofing secure connections to any other site (MFSA 2008-31).

  - A crash in Mozilla's block reflow code could be used by an attacker to crash the browser and run arbitrary code on the victim's computer (MFSA 2008-33).

  - By creating a very large number of references to a common CSS object, an attacker can overflow the CSS reference counter, causing a crash when the browser attempts to free the CSS object while still in use and allowing for arbitrary code execution (MFSA 2008-34).

The installed version of Firefox is affected by various security issues :
