Anti-DNS Pinning and Java Applets with Opera and Firefox

Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in JDK and JRE 6 Update 2 and earlier, JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 12 and earlier, SDK and JRE 1.4.2_15 and earlier, and SDK and JRE 1.3.1_20 and earlier, when Firefox or Opera is used, allows remote attackers to violate the security model for JavaScript outbound connections via a multi-pin DNS rebinding attack dependent on the LiveConnect API, in which JavaScript download relies on DNS resolution by the browser, but JavaScript socket operations rely on separate DNS resolution by a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), a different issue than CVE-2007-5273. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2007-5232.

Opera 9 drops DNS pins based on failed connections to irrelevant TCP ports, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct DNS rebinding attacks, as demonstrated by a port 81 URL in an IMG SRC, when the DNS pin had been established for a session on port 80.

Algorithmic complexity vulnerability in Opera 9.50 beta and 9.x before 9.25 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted bitmap (BMP) file that triggers a large number of calculations and checks.

Opera before 9.25 allows remote attackers to conduct cross-domain scripting attacks via unknown vectors related to plug-ins.

The rich text editing functionality in Opera before 9.25 allows remote attackers to conduct cross-domain scripting attacks by using designMode to modify contents of pages in other domains.

Opera before 9.25 allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive memory contents via a crafted bitmap (BMP) file, as demonstrated using a CANVAS element and JavaScript in an HTML document for copying these contents from 9.50 beta, a related issue to CVE-2008-0420.

Opera before 9.26 allows remote attackers to "bypass sanitization filters" and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via crafted attribute values in an XML document, which are not properly handled during DOM presentation.

Opera before 9.27 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted newsfeed source, which triggers an invalid memory access.

Opera before 9.26 allows remote attackers to misrepresent web page addresses using "certain characters" that "cause the page address text to be misplaced."

Unspecified vulnerability in Opera before 9.5 allows remote attackers to read cross-domain images via HTML CANVAS elements that use the images as patterns.

Opera 9.10 Final allows remote attackers to bypass the Fraud Protection mechanism by adding certain characters to the end of a domain name, as demonstrated by the "." and "/" characters, which is not caught by the blacklist filter.

Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1 allows remote attackers to bypass the Phishing Protection mechanism by adding certain characters to the end of the domain name, as demonstrated by the "." and "/" characters, which is not caught by the Phishing List blacklist filter.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Opera 9.02 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a JPEG file with an invalid number of index bytes in the Define Huffman Table (DHT) marker.

The Javascript SVG support in Opera before 9.10 does not properly validate object types in a createSVGTransformFromMatrix request, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via JavaScript code that uses an invalid object in this request that causes a controlled pointer to be referenced during the virtual function call.

The child frames in Opera 9 before 9.20 inherit the default charset from the parent window when a charset is not specified in an HTTP Content-Type header or META tag, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, as demonstrated using the UTF-7 character set.

AcroPDF.DLL in Adobe Reader 8.0, when accessed from Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, or Opera, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (unspecified resource consumption) via a .pdf URL with an anchor identifier that begins with search= followed by many %n sequences, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-6027 and CVE-2006-6236.

Opera 9.10 does not check URLs embedded in (1) object or (2) iframe HTML tags against the phishing site blacklist, which allows remote attackers to bypass phishing protection.

kdebase3 flash-player interaction problem

Adobe Macromedia Flash Player 7 and 9, when used with Opera before 9.20 or Konqueror before 20070613, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information (browser keystrokes), which are leaked to the Flash Player applet.

Opera 9.21 allows remote attackers to spoof the data: URI scheme in the address bar via a long URI with trailing whitespace, which prevents the beginning of the URI from being displayed.

Visual truncation vulnerability in Opera 9.21 allows remote attackers to spoof the address bar and possibly conduct phishing attacks via a long hostname, which is truncated after 34 characters, as demonstrated by a phishing attack using HTTP Basic Authentication.
