Description |
48 |
=========== |
49 |
|
50 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Firefox and |
51 |
SeaMonkey. Various errors in the browser engine and the Javascript |
52 |
engine can be exploited to cause a memory corruption (CVE-2007-5339 and |
53 |
CVE-2007-5340). Before being used in a request, input passed to the |
54 |
user ID when making an HTTP request with digest authentication is not |
55 |
properly sanitised (CVE-2007-2292). The titlebar can be hidden by a XUL |
56 |
markup language document (CVE-2007-5334). Additionally, an error exists |
57 |
in the handling of "smb:" and "sftp:" URI schemes on systems with |
58 |
gnome-vfs support (CVE-2007-5337). An unspecified error in the handling |
59 |
of "XPCNativeWrappers" and not properly implementing JavaScript |
60 |
onUnload() handlers may allow the execution of arbitrary Javascript |
61 |
code (CVE-2007-5338 and CVE-2007-1095). Another error is triggered by |
62 |
using the addMicrosummaryGenerator sidebar method to access file: URIs |
63 |
(CVE-2007-5335). |
64 |
|
65 |
Impact |
66 |
====== |
67 |
|
68 |
A remote attacker could exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, |
69 |
gain the privileges of the user running the application, disclose |
70 |
sensitive information, conduct phishing attacks, and read and |
71 |
manipulate certain data. |
72 |
|
73 |
Workaround |
74 |
========== |
75 |
|
76 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
77 |
|
