Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2009-128:01 advisory.

Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser, designed for standards compliance, performance and portability.
Fixed bugs:
CVE-2009-1302 The browser engine in Mozilla Firefox 3.x before 3.0.9, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.22, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly trigger memory corruption via vectors related to (1) nsAsyncInstantiateEvent::Run, (2) nsStyleContext::Destroy, (3) nsComputedDOMStyle::GetWidth, (4) the xslt_attributeset_ImportSameName.html test case for the XSLT stylesheet compiler, (5) nsXULDocument::SynchronizeBroadcastListener, (6) IsBindingAncestor, (7) PL_DHashTableOperate and nsEditor::EndUpdateViewBatch, and (8) gfxSkipCharsIterator::SetOffsets, and other vectors.
CVE-2009-1303 The browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.9, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.22, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly trigger memory corruption via vectors related to nsSVGElement::BindToTree.
CVE-2009-1304 The JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox 3.x before 3.0.9, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.22, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly trigger memory corruption via vectors involving (1) js_FindPropertyHelper, related to the definitions of Math and Date; and (2) js_CheckRedeclaration.
CVE-2009-1305 The JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.9, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.22, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly trigger memory corruption via vectors involving JSOP_DEFVAR and properties that lack the JSPROP_PERMANENT attribute.
CVE-2009-1306 The jar: URI implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.9, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey does not follow the Content-Disposition header of the inner URI, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and possibly other attacks via an uploaded .jar file with a Content-Disposition:
attachment designation.
CVE-2009-1307 The view-source: URI implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.9, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey does not properly implement the Same Origin Policy, which allows remote attackers to (1) bypass crossdomain.xml restrictions and connect to arbitrary web sites via a Flash file; (2) read, create, or modify Local Shared Objects via a Flash file; or (3) bypass unspecified restrictions and render content via vectors involving a jar: URI.
CVE-2009-1308 Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.9, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving XBL JavaScript bindings and remote stylesheets, as exploited in the wild by a March 2009 eBay listing.
CVE-2009-1309 Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.9, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey do not properly implement the Same Origin Policy for (1) XMLHttpRequest, involving a mismatch for a document's principal, and (2) XPCNativeWrapper.toString, involving an incorrect __proto__ scope, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and possibly other attacks via a crafted document.
CVE-2009-1310 Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the MozSearch plugin implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.9 allows user-assisted remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a javascript: URI in the SearchForm element.
CVE-2009-1311 Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.9 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.17 allow user-assisted remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a web page with an embedded frame, which causes POST data from an outer page to be sent to the inner frame's URL during a SAVEMODE_FILEONLY save of the inner frame.
CVE-2009-1312 Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.9 and SeaMonkey do not block javascript: URIs in Refresh headers in HTTP responses, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via vectors related to (1) injecting a Refresh header or (2) specifying the content of a Refresh header. NOTE: it was later reported that Mozilla 1.7.x and earlier is also affected.
CVE-2009-1313 The nsTextFrame::ClearTextRun function in layout/generic/nsTextFrameThebes.cpp in Mozilla Firefox 3.0.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) and probably execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this vulnerability reportedly exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2009-1302.
Other bugs:
- relocated Firefox in the menu entries
