The Mozilla NSS libraries were updated to version 3.13.1 to fix various bugs and security problems.

Following security issues were fixed :

  - SSL 2.0 is disabled by default

  - A defense against the SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 CBC chosen     plaintext attack demonstrated by Rizzo and Duong     (CVE-2011-3389) is enabled by default. Set the     SSL_CBC_RANDOM_IV SSL option to PR_FALSE to disable it.
    bnc#

  - SHA-224 is supported

  - NSS_NoDB_Init does not try to open /pkcs11.txt and     /secmod.db anymore (bmo#641052, bnc#726096)     (CVE-2011-3640)

Also following bugs were fixed :

  - fix spec file syntax for qemu-workaround

  - Added a patch to fix errors in the pkcs11n.h header     file. (bmo#702090)

  - Added NSS_GetVersion to return the NSS version string

  - Added experimental support of RSA-PSS to the softoken     only

SeaMonkey was upgraded to version 2.5 in order to fix the following security problems :

This mozilla update fixes the following security issues :

  - explicitely distrust DigiCert Sdn. Bhd (bnc#728520,     bmo#698753)

  - make sure NSS_NoDB_Init does not try to use wrong     certificate databases (CVE-2011-3640, bnc#726096,     bmo#641052)

Security issues were identified and fixed in mozilla NSS, firefox and thunderbird :

22 weak 512-bit certificates issued by the DigiCert Sdn. Bhd certificate authority has been revoked from the root CA storage. This was fixed with rootcerts-20111103.00 and nss-3.13. DigiCert Sdn. Bhd is a Malaysian subordinate CA under Entrust and Verizon (GTE CyberTrust). It bears no affiliation whatsoever with the US-based corporation DigiCert, Inc., which is a member of Mozilla's root program.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) might allow local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse pkcs11.txt file in a top-level directory (CVE-2011-3640).

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.24 and 4.x through 7.0 and Thunderbird before 3.1.6 and 5.0 through 7.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted text with Shift JIS encoding (CVE-2011-3648).

Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.24 and 4.x through 7.0 and Thunderbird before 3.1.6 and 5.0 through 7.0 do not properly handle JavaScript files that contain many functions, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file that is accessed by debugging APIs, as demonstrated by Firebug (CVE-2011-3650).

The following vulnerabilities affetst Mandriva Linux 2011 only :

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox 7.0 and Thunderbird 7.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors (CVE-2011-3651).

The browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 8.0 and Thunderbird before 8.0 does not properly allocate memory, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors (CVE-2011-3652).

The browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 8.0 and Thunderbird before 8.0 does not properly handle links from SVG mpath elements to non-SVG elements, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors (CVE-2011-3654).

Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 7.0 and Thunderbird 5.0 through 7.0 perform access control without checking for use of the NoWaiverWrapper wrapper, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a crafted web site (CVE-2011-3655).

The following vulnerabilities affects Mandriva Enterpriser Server 5.2 and Mandriva Linux 2010.2 only :

The JSSubScriptLoader in Mozilla Firefox before 3.6.24 and Thunderbird before 3.1.6 does not properly handle XPCNativeWrappers during calls to the loadSubScript method in an add-on, which makes it easier for remote attackers to gain privileges via a crafted web site that leverages certain unwrapping behavior, a related issue to CVE-2011-3004 (CVE-2011-3647).

Additionally, some packages which require so, have been rebuilt and are being provided as updates.

The Mozilla NSS libraries were updated to version 3.13.1 to fix various bugs and security problems.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201301-01 (Mozilla Products: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox,       Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, NSS, GNU IceCat, and XULRunner. Please review the       CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web       page or email, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a       Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able       to perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks, obtain sensitive information,       bypass restrictions and protection mechanisms, force file downloads,       conduct XML injection attacks, conduct XSS attacks, bypass the Same       Origin Policy, spoof URL&rsquo;s for phishing attacks, trigger a vertical       scroll, spoof the location bar, spoof an SSL indicator, modify the       browser&rsquo;s font, conduct clickjacking attacks, or have other unspecified       impact.
    A local attacker could gain escalated privileges, obtain sensitive       information, or replace an arbitrary downloaded file.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
