Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox and
Mozilla Seamonkey.
Background
==========
Mozilla Firefox is a cross-platform web browser from Mozilla. SeaMonkey
is a free, cross-platform Internet suite.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-client/mozilla-firefox < 2.0.0.11 >= 2.0.0.11
2 www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin < 2.0.0.11 >= 2.0.0.11
3 www-client/seamonkey < 1.1.7 >= 1.1.7
4 www-client/seamonkey-bin < 1.1.7 >= 1.1.7
-------------------------------------------------------------------
4 affected packages on all of their supported architectures.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
===========
Jesse Ruderman and Petko D. Petkov reported that the jar protocol
handler in Mozilla Firefox and Seamonkey does not properly check MIME
types (CVE-2007-5947). Gregory Fleischer reported that the
window.location property can be used to generate a fake HTTP Referer
(CVE-2007-5960). Multiple memory errors have also been reported
(CVE-2007-5959).
Impact
======
A remote attacker could possibly exploit these vulnerabilities to
execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser and conduct
Cross-Site-Scripting or Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Mozilla Firefox users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.11"
All Mozilla Firefox binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask -1 -v ">=www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-2.0.0.11"
All SeaMonkey users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/seamonkey-1.1.7"
All SeaMonkey binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=www-client/seamonkey-bin-1.1.7"
