SeaMonkey < 2.0.9 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 50088

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a web browser that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The installed version of SeaMonkey is earlier than 2.0.9. Such versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :

- Multiple memory safety bugs could lead to memory corruption, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. (MFSA 2010-64)

- By passing an excessively long string to 'document.write', it may be possible to trigger a buffer overflow condition resulting in arbitrary code execution on the remote system. (MFSA 2010-65)

- A use-after-free error in nsBarProp could allow arbitrary code execution on the remote system.
(MFSA 2010-66)

- A dangling pointer vulnerability in LookupGetterOrSetter could allow arbitrary code execution. (MFSA 2010-67)

- The Gopher parser is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability. (MFSA 2010-68)

- It is possible to steal information from a site in a different domain using modal calls. (MFSA 2010-69)

- It is possible to establish a valid SSL connection to a remote host, provided the SSL certificate was created with a common name containing a wild card followed by partial IP address of the remote host.
(MFSA 2010-70)

- A function used to load external libraries on Windows platform could allow loading of unsafe DLLs thus allowing binary planting attacks. (MFSA 2010-71)

- The SSL implementation allows servers to use Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral mode (DHE) with a very short key length. Such key lengths could be easily breakable with modern hardware. (MFSA 2010-72)

Solution

Upgrade to SeaMonkey 2.0.9 or later.
