Description:
Some vulnerabilities and weaknesses have been reported in Mozilla Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions, disclose potentially sensitive information, conduct cross-site scripting and phishing attacks, and potentially compromise a user's system.
1) An unspecified error in the handling of "XPCNativeWrappers" can lead to the execution of arbitrary Javascript code with the user's privileges via "setTimeout()" calls.
This is related to vulnerability #7 in:
SA27311
2) Various errors in the handling of Javascript code can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks or execute arbitrary code.
3) Various errors in the layout engine can be exploited to cause a memory corruption.
4) Various errors in the Javascript engine can be exploited to cause a memory corruption.
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow execution of arbitrary code.
5) An error within the handling of HTTP "Referer:" headers sent with requests to URLs containing "Basic Authentication" credentials having an empty username can be exploited to bypass cross-site request forgery protections.
6) The problem is that Firefox offers a previously configured private SSL certificate when establishing connections to webservers requesting SSL Client Authentication. This can potentially be exploited to disclose sensitive information via a malicious webserver.
7) An error in the handling of the "jar:" protocol can be exploited to establish connections to arbitrary ports on the local machine.
This is related to vulnerability #10 in:
SA29239
8) An error when displaying XUL pop-up windows can be exploited to hide the window's borders and facilitate phishing attacks.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 2.0.0.13.
