Description:
The vendor has released details about some older vulnerabilities in Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, and Thunderbird. These can potentially be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks, compromise a vulnerable system, or cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
1) Malicious POP3 mail servers can cause an heap overflow in Mozilla and obtain system access.
2) A malicious page can appear to be encrypted and present the certificate of another site.
3) Mozilla doesn't verify if stored credentials should be used for a HTTPS or HTTP connection. This can potentially lead to the password being sent over an unencrypted HTTP connection.
4) Certificate name matching is done insecurely for non-FQDNs (Fully Qualified Domain Name), which may be used for spoofing attacks.
5) Malicious websites can interfere with the operations in other windows and cause a DoS. However, it is not possible to alter or read any data.
6) Users can be tricked into dragging text into obscured file upload controls, resulting in theft of a local file from a known location.
7) The PNG library (libpng) contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS.
Some other older issues were also reported.
These vulnerabilities reportedly affect versions prior to the following:
* Mozilla 1.7
* Firefox 0.9
* Thunderbird 0.7
NOTE: These issues have all been fixed by the vendor. However, the details have not been disclosed earlier.
