critical Nessus Plugin ID 284333
Synopsis
The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.Description
The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2009-419:04 advisory.Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser, designed for standards compliance, performance and portability.
NSPR provides platform independence for non-GUI operating system facilities. These facilities include threads, thread synchronization, normal file and network I/O, interval timing and calendar time, basic memory management (malloc and free) and shared library linking.
XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for Gecko applications.
nspr packages are included Security bugs fixed with this release:
CVE-2009-1563 Array index error in Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x before 3.0.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string that triggers incorrect memory allocation and a heap-based buffer overflow during conversion to a floating-point number.
CVE-2009-3274 Mozilla Firefox 3.6a1, 3.5.2, and earlier 2.x and 3.x versions on Linux uses a predictable /tmp pathname for files selected from the Downloads window, which allows local users to replace an arbitrary downloaded file by placing a file in a /tmp location before the download occurs, possibly related to the Archive Manager component.
NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
CVE-2009-3370 Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.15, and 3.5.x before 3.5.4, allows remote attackers to read form history by forging mouse and keyboard events that leverage the auto-fill feature to populate form fields, in an attacker-readable form, with history entries.
CVE-2009-3372 Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4, and SeaMonkey before 2.0, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted regular expression in a Proxy Auto-configuration (PAC) file.
CVE-2009-3373 Heap-based buffer overflow in the GIF image parser in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4, and SeaMonkey before 2.0, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
CVE-2009-3374 The XPCVariant::VariantDataToJS function in the XPCOM implementation in Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x before 3.0.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4 does not enforce intended restrictions on interaction between chrome privileged code and objects obtained from remote web sites, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges via unspecified method calls, related to doubly-wrapped objects.
CVE-2009-3375 content/html/document/src/nsHTMLDocument.cpp in Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x before 3.0.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4 allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and read an arbitrary content selection via the document.getSelection function.
CVE-2009-3376 Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4, and SeaMonkey before 2.0, does not properly handle a right-to-left override (aka RLO or U+202E) Unicode character in a download filename, which allows remote attackers to spoof file extensions via a crafted filename, as demonstrated by displaying a non-executable extension for an executable file.
CVE-2009-3380 Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x before 3.0.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors.
CVE-2009-3382 layout/base/nsCSSFrameConstructor.cpp in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x before 3.0.15 does not properly handle first-letter frames, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
