SeaMonkey < 1.1.13 Multiple Vulnerabilities
medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 4753
Synopsis
A web browser on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The installed version of SeaMonkey is earlier than 1.1.13. Such versions are potentially affected by the following security issues :- Locally saved '.url' shortcut files can be used to read information stored in the local cache. (MFSA 2008-47)
- By tampering with the window.__proto__.__proto__ object, one can cause the browser to place a lock on a non-native object, leading to a crash and possible code execution. (MFSA 2008-50)
- 'file: ' URIs are given chrome privileges when opened in the same tab as a chrome page or privileged 'about: ' page, which could allow an attacker to run arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges. (MFSA 2008-51)
- There are several stability bugs in the browser engine that may lead to crashes with evidence of memory corruption. (MFSA 2008-52)
- The browser's session restore feature can be used to violate the same-origin policy and run JavaScript in the context of another site. (MFSA 2008-53)
- There is a buffer overflow that can be triggered by sending a specially crafted 200 header line in the HTTP index response. (MFSA 2008-54)
- Crashes and remote code execution in nsFrameManager are possible by modifying certain properties of a file input element before it has finished initializing. (MFSA 2008-55)
- The same-origin check in 'nsXMLHttpRequest: : NotifyEventListeners()' can be bypassed. (MFSA 2008-56)
- The '-moz-binding' CSS property can be used to bypass security checks that validate codebase principals. (MFSA 2008-57)
- There is an error in the method used to parse the default namespace in an E4X document caused by quote characters in the namespace not being properly escaped. (MFSA 2008-58)
