Firefox < 3.0.12 Multiple Vulnerabilities
high Nessus Plugin ID 40351
Synopsis
The remote Windows host contains a web browser that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The installed version of Firefox is earlier than 3.0.12. Such versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :- Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities could potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code. (MFSA 2009-34)
- It may be possible to crash the browser or potentially execute arbitrary code by using a flash object that presents a slow script dialog. (MFSA 2009-35)
- Glyph rendering libraries are affected by multiple heap/ integer overflows. (MFSA 2009-36)
- A vulnerability involving SVG element could be exploited to crash the browser or execute arbitrary code on the remote system. (MFSA 2009-37)
- A SOCKS5 proxy that replies with a hostname containing more than 15 characters can corrupt the subsequent data stream. This can lead to a denial of service, though there is reportedly no memory corruption.
(MFSA 2009-38)
- A vulnerability in 'setTimeout' could allow unsafe access to the 'this' object from chrome code. An attacker could exploit this flaw to run arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges. (MFSA 2009-39)
- It may be possible for JavaScript from one website to bypass cross origin wrapper, and unsafely access properties of an object from another website.
(MFSA 2009-40)
