FreeBSD : mozilla -- SOAPParameter integer overflow (a4fd8f53-05eb-11d9-b45d-000c41e2cdad)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 36922

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

zen-parse discovered and iDEFENSE reported an exploitable integer overflow in a scriptable Mozilla component `SOAPParameter' :

Improper input validation to the SOAPParameter object constructor in Netscape and Mozilla allows execution of arbitrary code. The SOAPParameter object's constructor contains an integer overflow which allows controllable heap corruption. A web page can be constructed to leverage this into remote execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
