The Mozilla Suite is a popular all-in-one web browser that
|
|
includes a mail and news reader. Mozilla Firefox is the next-generation
|
|
browser from the Mozilla project.

|
The Mozilla Suite and Firefox do not properly protect "IFRAME"
|
|
JavaScript URLs from being executed in context of another URL in the
|
|
history list (CAN-2005-1476). The Mozilla Suite and Firefox also fail
|
|
to verify the "IconURL" parameter of the "InstallTrigger.install()"
|
|
function (CAN-2005-1477). Michael Krax and Georgi Guninski discovered
|
|
that it is possible to bypass JavaScript-injection security checks by
|
|
wrapping the javascript: URL within the view-source: or jar:
|
|
pseudo-protocols (MFSA2005-43).
|

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A malicious remote attacker could use the "IFRAME" issue to
|
|
execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the context of another
|
|
website, allowing to steal cookies or other sensitive data. By
|
|
supplying a javascript: URL as the "IconURL" parameter of the
|
|
"InstallTrigger.Install()" function, a remote attacker could also
|
|
execute arbitrary JavaScript code. Combining both vulnerabilities with
|
|
a website which is allowed to install software or wrapping javascript:
|
|
URLs within the view-source: or jar: pseudo-protocols could possibly
|
|
lead to the execution of arbitrary code with user privileges.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Affected systems can be protected by disabling JavaScript.
|
|
However, we encourage Mozilla Suite or Mozilla Firefox users to upgrade
|
|
to the latest available version.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Mozilla Firefox users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0.4"</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Mozilla Firefox binary users should upgrade to the latest
|
|
version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.4"</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Mozilla Suite users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/mozilla-1.7.8"</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Mozilla Suite binary users should upgrade to the latest
|
|
version:
|

</p>
|

<code>

# emerge --sync
