Firefox JavaScript arbitrary code execution

js/src/xpconnect/src/xpcwrappedjsclass.cpp in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.11, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.22, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.17 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script with the privileges of a chrome object, as demonstrated by the browser sidebar and the FeedWriter.

Firefox XUL scripts skip some security checks

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.11, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey do not check content policy before loading a script file into a XUL document, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a crafted HTML document, as demonstrated by a "web bug" in an e-mail message, or web script or an advertisement in a web page.

Firefox information disclosure flaw

Mozilla Firefox 3 before 3.0.11 associates an incorrect principal with a file: URL loaded through the location bar, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and read files via a crafted HTML document, aka a "file-URL-to-file-URL scripting" attack.

Firefox arbitrary code execution flaw

The garbage-collection implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.11, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.22, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.17 sets an element's owner document to null in unspecified circumstances, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges via a crafted event handler, related to an incorrect context for this event handler.

Firefox Race condition while accessing the private data of a NPObject JS wrapper class object

Race condition in the NPObjWrapper_NewResolve function in modules/plugin/base/src/nsJSNPRuntime.cpp in xul.dll in Mozilla Firefox 3 before 3.0.11 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a page transition during Java applet loading, related to a use-after-free vulnerability for memory associated with a destroyed Java object.

Firefox SSL tampering via non-200 responses to proxy CONNECT requests

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.11, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.22, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.17 use the HTTP Host header to determine the context of a document provided in a non-200 CONNECT response from a proxy server, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary web script by modifying this CONNECT response, aka an "SSL tampering" attack.

file: resources

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.11 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.17 associate local documents with external domain names located after the file:// substring in a URL, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to read arbitrary cookies via a crafted HTML document, as demonstrated by a URL with file://example.com/C:/ at the beginning.

Firefox URL spoofing with invalid unicode characters

Visual truncation vulnerability in netwerk/dns/src/nsIDNService.cpp in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.11 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.17 allows remote attackers to spoof the location bar via an IDN with invalid Unicode characters that are displayed as whitespace, as demonstrated by the \u115A through \u115E characters.

Firefox JavaScript engine crashes

The JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.11, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.22, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.17 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to (1) js_LeaveSharpObject, (2) ParseXMLSource, and (3) a certain assertion in jsinterp.c; and other vectors.

Firefox double frame construction flaw

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.11, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.22, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.17 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors involving "double frame construction."

Mozilla Firefox 3.0.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop, application hang, and memory consumption) via a KEYGEN element in conjunction with (1) a META element specifying automatic page refresh or (2) a JavaScript onLoad event handler for a BODY element. NOTE: it was later reported that earlier versions are also affected.

The SVG component in Mozilla Firefox 3.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application hang) via a large value in the r (aka Radius) attribute of a circle element, related to an "unclamped loop."

Mozilla Firefox executes DOM calls in response to a javascript: URI in the target attribute of a submit element within a form contained in an inline PDF file, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended Adobe Acrobat JavaScript restrictions on accessing the document object, as demonstrated by a web site that permits PDF uploads by untrusted users, and therefore has a shared document.domain between the web site and this javascript: URI. NOTE: the researcher reports that Adobe's position is "a PDF file is active content."

Firefox browser engine crashes

The browser engine in Mozilla Firefox 3 before 3.0.11, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.22, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.17 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to (1) nsEventStateManager::GetContentState and nsNativeTheme::CheckBooleanAttr; (2) UnhookTextRunFromFrames and ClearAllTextRunReferences; (3) nsTextFrame::ClearTextRun; (4) IsPercentageAware; (5) PL_DHashTableFinish; (6) nsListBoxBodyFrame::GetNextItemBox; (7) AtomTableClearEntry, related to the atom table, DOM mutation events, and Unicode surrogates; (8) nsHTMLEditor::HideResizers; and (9) nsWindow::SetCursor, related to changing the cursor; and other vectors.

nsTextFrame:: ClearTextRun()

The nsTextFrame::ClearTextRun function in layout/generic/nsTextFrameThebes.cpp in Mozilla Firefox 3.0.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) and probably execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors. NOTE: this vulnerability reportedly exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2009-1302.

javascript: URIs

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.9 and SeaMonkey 1.1.17 do not block javascript: URIs in Refresh headers in HTTP responses, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via vectors related to (1) injecting a Refresh header or (2) specifying the content of a Refresh header. NOTE: it was later reported that Firefox 3.6 a1 pre and Mozilla 1.7.x and earlier are also affected.

Firefox POST data sent to wrong site when saving web page with embedded frame

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.9 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.17 allow user-assisted remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a web page with an embedded frame, which causes POST data from an outer page to be sent to the inner frame's URL during a SAVEMODE_FILEONLY save of the inner frame.

Firefox Malicious search plugins can inject code into arbitrary sites

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the MozSearch plugin implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.9 allows user-assisted remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a javascript: URI in the SearchForm element.

Firefox Same-origin violations in XMLHttpRequest and XPCNativeWrapper.toString

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.9, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey do not properly implement the Same Origin Policy for (1) XMLHttpRequest, involving a mismatch for a document's principal, and (2) XPCNativeWrapper.toString, involving an incorrect __proto__ scope, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and possibly other attacks via a crafted document.

view-source: protocol

The view-source: URI implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.9, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey does not properly implement the Same Origin Policy, which allows remote attackers to (1) bypass crossdomain.xml restrictions and connect to arbitrary web sites via a Flash file; (2) read, create, or modify Local Shared Objects via a Flash file; or (3) bypass unspecified restrictions and render content via vectors involving a jar: URI.
