Mozilla Firefox has been updated to the17.0.6ESR security release.

  - Mozilla developers identified and fixed several memory     safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and     other Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs 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. (MFSA 2013-30)

    Olli Pettay, Jesse Ruderman, Boris Zbarsky, Christian     Holler, Milan Sreckovic, and Joe Drew reported memory     safety problems and crashes that affect Firefox ESR 17,     and Firefox 19. (CVE-2013-0788)

  - Security researcher Abhishek Arya (Inferno) of the     Google Chrome Security Team used the Address Sanitizer     tool to discover an out-of-bounds write in Cairo     graphics library. When certain values are passed to it     during rendering, Cairo attempts to use negative     boundaries or sizes for boxes, leading to a potentially     exploitable crash in some instances. (MFSA 2013-31 /     CVE-2013-0800)

  - Security researcher Frederic Hoguin discovered that the     Mozilla Maintenance Service on Windows was vulnerable to     a buffer overflow. This system is used to update     software without invoking the User Account Control (UAC)     prompt. The Mozilla Maintenance Service is configured to     allow unprivileged users to start it with arbitrary     arguments. By manipulating the data passed in these     arguments, an attacker can execute arbitrary code with     the system privileges used by the service. This issue     requires local file system access to be exploitable.
    (MFSA 2013-32 / CVE-2013-0799)

  - Security researcher Ash reported an issue with the     Mozilla Updater. The Mozilla Updater can be made to load     a malicious local DLL file in a privileged context     through either the Mozilla Maintenance Service or     independently on systems that do not use the service.
    This occurs when the DLL file is placed in a specific     location on the local system before the Mozilla Updater     is run. Local file system access is necessary in order     for this issue to be exploitable. (MFSA 2013-34 /     CVE-2013-0797)

  - Security researcher miaubiz used the Address Sanitizer     tool to discover a crash in WebGL rendering when memory     is freed that has not previously been allocated. This     issue only affects Linux users who have Intel Mesa     graphics drivers. The resulting crash could be     potentially exploitable. (MFSA 2013-35 / CVE-2013-0796)

  - Security researcher Cody Crews reported a mechanism to     use the cloneNode method to bypass System Only Wrappers     (SOW) and clone a protected node. This allows violation     of the browser's same origin policy and could also lead     to privilege escalation and the execution of arbitrary     code. (MFSA 2013-36 / CVE-2013-0795)

  - Security researcher shutdown reported a method for     removing the origin indication on tab-modal dialog boxes     in combination with browser navigation. This could allow     an attacker's dialog to overlay a page and show another     site's content. This can be used for phishing by     allowing users to enter data into a modal prompt dialog     on an attacking, site while appearing to be from the     displayed site. (MFSA 2013-37 / CVE-2013-0794)

  - Security researcher Mariusz Mlynski reported a method to     use browser navigations through history to load an     arbitrary website with that page's baseURI property     pointing to another site instead of the seemingly loaded     one. The user will continue to see the incorrect site in     the addressbar of the browser. This allows for a     cross-site scripting (XSS) attack or the theft of data     through a phishing attack. (MFSA 2013-38 /     CVE-2013-0793)

  - Mozilla community member Tobias Schula reported that if     gfx.color_management.enablev4 preference is enabled     manually in about:config, some grayscale PNG images will     be rendered incorrectly and cause memory corruption     during PNG decoding when certain color profiles are in     use. A crafted PNG image could use this flaw to leak     data through rendered images drawing from random memory.
    By default, this preference is not enabled. (MFSA     2013-39 / CVE-2013-0792)

  - Mozilla community member Ambroz Bizjak reported an     out-of-bounds array read in the CERT_DecodeCertPackage     function of the Network Security Services (NSS) libary     when decoding a certificate. When this occurs, it will     lead to memory corruption and a non-exploitable crash.
    (MFSA 2013-40 / CVE-2013-0791)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201309-23 (Mozilla Products: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox,       Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced       below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web       page or email, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a       Denial of Service condition. Further, a remote attacker could conduct XSS       attacks, spoof URLs, bypass address space layout randomization, conduct       clickjacking attacks, obtain potentially sensitive information, bypass       access restrictions, modify the local filesystem, or conduct other       unspecified attacks.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The installed version of Thunderbird ESR 17.x is earlier than 17.0.5 and is, therefore, potentially affected the following vulnerabilities:

  - Various memory safety issues exist. (CVE-2013-0788)

  - An out-of-bounds memory read error exists related to     'CERT_DecodeCertPackage' and certificate decoding.
    (CVE-2013-0791)

  - An error exists related to navigation, history and     improper 'baseURI' property values that could allow     cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2013-0793)

  - An error exists related to 'cloneNode' that can allow     'System Only Wrapper' (SOW) to be bypassed, thus     violating the same origin policy and possibly leading     to privilege escalation and code execution.
    (CVE-2013-0795)

  - A DLL loading vulnerability exists that could lead to     code execution. (CVE-2013-0797)

  - A buffer overflow error exists related to the Mozilla     Maintenance Service. (CVE-2013-0799)

  - An out-of-bounds write error exists related to the     Cairo graphics library. (CVE-2013-0800)
