Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.12, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.12, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.8 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via certain character encodings, including (1) a backspace character that is treated as whitespace, (2) 0x80 with Shift_JIS encoding, and (3) "zero-length non-ASCII sequences" in certain Asian character sets.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2008:0104 :

Updated SeaMonkey packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, and 4.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

SeaMonkey is an open source Web browser, advanced email and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.

Several flaws were found in the way SeaMonkey processed certain malformed web content. A webpage containing malicious content could cause SeaMonkey to crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2008-0412, CVE-2008-0413, CVE-2008-0415, CVE-2008-0419)

Several flaws were found in the way SeaMonkey displayed malformed web content. A webpage containing specially crafted content could trick a user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-0591, CVE-2008-0593)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey stored password data. If a user saves login information for a malicious website, it could be possible to corrupt the password database, preventing the user from properly accessing saved password data. (CVE-2008-0417)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handles certain chrome URLs. If a user has certain extensions installed, it could allow a malicious website to steal sensitive session data. Note: this flaw does not affect a default installation of SeaMonkey. (CVE-2008-0418)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey saves certain text files. If a website offers a file of type 'plain/text', rather than 'text/plain', SeaMonkey will not show future 'text/plain' content to the user in the browser, forcing them to save those files locally to view the content.
(CVE-2008-0592)

Users of SeaMonkey are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues.

  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web     page or email that will trigger one of the vulnerabilities, possibly     leading to the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service. It     is also possible for an attacker to trick a user to upload arbitrary     files when submitting a form, to corrupt saved passwords for other     sites, to steal login credentials, or to conduct Cross-Site Scripting     and Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Alexey Proskuryakov, Yosuke Hasegawa and Simon Montagu discovered flaws in Firefox's character encoding handling. If a user were tricked into opening a malicious web page, an attacker could perform cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2008-0416)

Various flaws were discovered in the JavaScript engine. By tricking a user into opening a malicious web page, an attacker could escalate privileges within the browser, perform cross-site scripting attacks and/or execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.
(CVE-2008-1233, CVE-2008-1234, CVE-2008-1235)

Several problems were discovered in Firefox which could lead to crashes and memory corruption. If a user were tricked into opening a malicious web page, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. (CVE-2008-1236, CVE-2008-1237)

Gregory Fleischer discovered Firefox did not properly process HTTP Referrer headers when they were sent with with requests to URLs containing Basic Authentication credentials with empty usernames. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to perform cross-site request forgery attacks. (CVE-2008-1238)

Peter Brodersen and Alexander Klink reported that default the setting in Firefox for SSL Client Authentication allowed for users to be tracked via their client certificate. The default has been changed to prompt the user each time a website requests a client certificate.
(CVE-2007-4879)

Gregory Fleischer discovered that web content fetched via the jar protocol could use Java LiveConnect to connect to arbitrary ports on the user's machine due to improper parsing in the Java plugin. If a user were tricked into opening malicious web content, an attacker may be able to access services running on the user's machine.
(CVE-2008-1195, CVE-2008-1240)

Chris Thomas discovered that Firefox would allow an XUL popup from an unselected tab to display in front of the selected tab. An attacker could exploit this behavior to spoof a login prompt and steal the user's credentials. (CVE-2008-1241).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The installed version of Thunderbird is affected by various security issues :

  - Several stability bugs exist leading to crashes which, in     some cases, show traces of memory corruption.

  - Several issues exist that allow scripts from page     content to escape from their sandboxed context and/or     run with chrome privileges, resulting in privilege     escalation, cross-site scripting, and/or remote code     execution.

  - A directory traversal vulnerability exist via the     'chrome:' URI.

  - A heap-based buffer overflow exists that can be     triggered when viewing an email with an external MIME     body.

  - Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities     exist related to character encoding.
