Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client. Several flaws were found in the way Thunderbird processed certain malformed HTML mail content. A HTML mail message containing malicious content could cause Thunderbird to crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2008-0412, CVE-2008-0413, CVE-2008-0415, CVE-2008-0419) Several flaws were found in the way Thunderbird displayed malformed HTML mail content. A HTML mail message containing specially crafted content could trick a user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-0591, CVE-2008-0593) A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird handles certain chrome URLs. If a user has certain extensions installed, it could allow a malicious HTML mail message to steal sensitive session data. Note: this flaw does not affect a default installation of Thunderbird. (CVE-2008-0418) Note: JavaScript support is disabled by default in Thunderbird; the above issues are not exploitable unless JavaScript is enabled. A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird saves certain text files. If a remote site offers a file of type 'plain/text', rather than 'text/plain', Thunderbird will not show future 'text/plain' content to the user, forcing them to save those files locally to view the content.
(CVE-2008-0592) Users of thunderbird are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The Mozilla XULRunner 1.8.1 engine was updated to security update version 1.8.1.12.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2008:0103 :

Updated firefox packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser.

Several flaws were found in the way Firefox processed certain malformed web content. A webpage containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2008-0412, CVE-2008-0413, CVE-2008-0415, CVE-2008-0419)

Several flaws were found in the way Firefox displayed malformed web content. A webpage containing specially crafted content could trick a user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-0591, CVE-2008-0593)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox stored password data. If a user saves login information for a malicious website, it could be possible to corrupt the password database, preventing the user from properly accessing saved password data. (CVE-2008-0417)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handles certain chrome URLs. If a user has certain extensions installed, it could allow a malicious website to steal sensitive session data. Note: this flaw does not affect a default installation of Firefox. (CVE-2008-0418)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox saves certain text files. If a website offers a file of type 'plain/text', rather than 'text/plain', Firefox will not show future 'text/plain' content to the user in the browser, forcing them to save those files locally to view the content.
(CVE-2008-0592)

Users of firefox are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues.

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Iceape internet suite, an unbranded version of the SeaMonkey Internet Suite.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2008-0412     Jesse Ruderman, Kai Engert, Martijn Wargers, Mats     Palmgren and Paul Nickerson discovered crashes in the     layout engine, which might allow the execution of     arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2008-0413     Carsten Book, Wesley Garland, Igor Bukanov,     'moz_bug_r_a4', 'shutdown', Philip Taylor and 'tgirmann'     discovered crashes in the JavaScript engine, which might     allow the execution of arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2008-0414     'hong' and Gregory Fleischer discovered that file input     focus vulnerabilities in the file upload control could     allow information disclosure of local files.

  - CVE-2008-0415     'moz_bug_r_a4' and Boris Zbarsky discovered several     vulnerabilities in JavaScript handling, which could     allow privilege escalation.

  - CVE-2008-0417     Justin Dolske discovered that the password storage     mechanism could be abused by malicious websites to     corrupt existing saved passwords.

  - CVE-2008-0418     Gerry Eisenhaur and 'moz_bug_r_a4' discovered that a     directory traversal vulnerability in chrome: URI     handling could lead to information disclosure.

  - CVE-2008-0419     David Bloom discovered a race condition in the image     handling of designMode elements, which can lead to     information disclosure and potentially the execution of     arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2008-0591     Michal Zalewski discovered that timers protecting     security-sensitive dialogs (by disabling dialog elements     until a timeout is reached) could be bypassed by window     focus changes through JavaScript.

  - CVE-2008-0592     It was discovered that malformed content declarations of     saved attachments could prevent a user in the opening     local files with a '.txt' file name, resulting in minor     denial of service.

  - CVE-2008-0593     Martin Straka discovered that insecure stylesheet     handling during redirects could lead to information     disclosure.

  - CVE-2008-0594     Emil Ljungdahl and Lars-Olof Moilanen discovered that     phishing protections could be bypassed with <div>     elements.

The Mozilla products from the old stable distribution (sarge) are no longer supported with security updates.

Updated SeaMonkey packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, and 4.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

SeaMonkey is an open source Web browser, advanced email and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.

Several flaws were found in the way SeaMonkey processed certain malformed web content. A webpage containing malicious content could cause SeaMonkey to crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2008-0412, CVE-2008-0413, CVE-2008-0415, CVE-2008-0419)

Several flaws were found in the way SeaMonkey displayed malformed web content. A webpage containing specially crafted content could trick a user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-0591, CVE-2008-0593)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey stored password data. If a user saves login information for a malicious website, it could be possible to corrupt the password database, preventing the user from properly accessing saved password data. (CVE-2008-0417)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey handles certain chrome URLs. If a user has certain extensions installed, it could allow a malicious website to steal sensitive session data. Note: this flaw does not affect a default installation of SeaMonkey. (CVE-2008-0418)

A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey saves certain text files. If a website offers a file of type 'plain/text', rather than 'text/plain', SeaMonkey will not show future 'text/plain' content to the user in the browser, forcing them to save those files locally to view the content.

The installed version of Firefox is affected by various security issues :

 - Several stability bugs leading to crashes that, in some cases, show traces of memory corruption
 - Several file input focus stealing vulnerabilities that could result in uploading of arbitrary files provided their full path and file names are known.
 - Several issues that allow scripts from page content to escape from their sandboxed context and/or run with chrome privileges, resulting in privilege escalation, XSS and/or remote code execution.
 - An issue that could allow a malicious site to inject newlines into the application's password store when a user saves his password, resulting in corruption of saved passwords for other sites.
 - A directory traversal vulnerability via the 'chrome:' URI.
 - A vulnerability involving 'designMode' frames that may result in web browsing history and forward navigation stealing.
 - A file action dialog tampering vulnerability involving timer-enabled security dialogs.
 - Mis-handling of locally-saved plain text files.
 - Possible disclosure of sensitive URL parameters, such as session tokens, via the .href property of stylesheet DOM nodes reflecting the final URI of the stylesheet after following any 302 redirects.
 - A failure to display a web forgery warning dialog in cases where the entire contents of a page are enclosed in a '<div>' tag with absolute positioning.
