-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-1435 2008-02-13 04:08:48 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : ruby-gnome2 Product : Fedora 7 Version : 0.16.0 Release : 21.fc7 URL : http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/ Summary : Ruby binding of libgnome/libgnomeui-2.x Description : This is a set of bindings for the GNOME-2.x libraries for use from Ruby. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser. Several flaws were found in the way Firefox processed certain malformed web content. A webpage containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2008-0412, CVE-2008-0413, CVE-2008-0415, CVE-2008-0419) Several flaws were found in the way Firefox displayed malformed web content. A webpage containing specially-crafted content could trick a user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-0591, CVE-2008-0593) A flaw was found in the way Firefox stored password data. If a user saves login information for a malicious website, it could be possible to corrupt the password database, preventing the user from properly accessing saved password data. (CVE-2008-0417) A flaw was found in the way Firefox handles certain chrome URLs. If a user has certain extensions installed, it could allow a malicious website to steal sensitive session data. Note: this flaw does not affect a default installation of Firefox. (CVE-2008-0418) A flaw was found in the way Firefox saves certain text files. If a website offers a file of type "plain/text", rather than "text/plain", Firefox will not show future "text/plain" content to the user in the browser, forcing them to save those files locally to view the content. (CVE-2008-0592) Users of firefox are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain updated packages to resolve these issues. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Feb 8 2008 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> 0.16.0-21 - Rebuild against newer gecko * Sat Jan 26 2008 Allisson Azevedo <allisson@gmail.com> 0.16.0-20 - Fix libglade2 patch order * Sat Jan 26 2008 Allisson Azevedo <allisson@gmail.com> 0.16.0-19 - Fix libglade2 Undefined method error (bugzilla #428781) * Tue Dec 4 2007 Allisson Azevedo <allisson@gmail.com> 0.16.0-18 - Fix CVE-2007-6183, format string vulnerability (bugzilla #402871) * Tue Nov 27 2007 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> 0.16.0-17 - Rebuild against newer gecko * Tue Nov 13 2007 Alex Lancaster <alexl@users.sourceforge.net> 0.16.0-16 - Fix my typo in BuildRequires * Tue Nov 13 2007 Alex Lancaster <alexl@users.sourceforge.net> 0.16.0-15 - Rebuild against gecko-libs and gecko-devel (firefox 2.0.0.9). * Thu Oct 25 2007 Allisson Azevedo <allisson@gmail.com> 0.16.0-14 - Rebuild against gecko-libs and gecko-devel * Wed Oct 24 2007 Allisson Azevedo <allisson@gmail.com> 0.16.0-13 - Rebuild against new firefox * Thu Sep 13 2007 Allisson Azevedo <allisson@gmail.com> 0.16.0-12 - Newpoppler.patch updated for poppler 0.6 * Sat Sep 8 2007 Allisson Azevedo <allisson@gmail.com> 0.16.0-11 - Rebuild against new poppler - Changed license to LGPLv2+ * Thu Aug 9 2007 Mamoru Tasaka <mtasaka@ioa.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp> 0.16.0-10 - Adjust to GLib 2.14 API + typo fix in glib module * Thu Aug 9 2007 Allisson Azevedo <allisson@gmail.com> 0.16.0-9 - Rebuild against new firefox * Sat Aug 4 2007 Mamoru Tasaka <mtasaka@ioa.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp> 0.16.0-8 - Apply patch extracted from CVS to build glib gtk poppler * Fri Jul 20 2007 Jesse Keating <jkeating@redhat.com> 0.16.0-7 - Rebuild against new firefox * Thu May 31 2007 Allisson Azevedo <allisson@gmail.com> 0.16.0-6 - New gecko engine -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #431732 - CVE-2008-0412 Mozilla layout engine crashes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431732 [ 2 ] Bug #431733 - CVE-2008-0413 Mozilla javascript engine crashes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431733 [ 3 ] Bug #432040 - CVE-2008-0414 mozilla: multiple file input focus stealing vulnerabilities https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432040 [ 4 ] Bug #431739 - CVE-2008-0415 Mozilla arbitrary code execution https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431739 [ 5 ] Bug #431742 - CVE-2008-0417 Mozilla arbitrary code execution https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431742 [ 6 ] Bug #431748 - CVE-2008-0418 Mozilla chrome: directory traversal https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431748 [ 7 ] Bug #431749 - CVE-2008-0419 Mozilla arbitrary code execution https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431749 [ 8 ] Bug #431751 - CVE-2008-0591 Mozilla information disclosure flaw https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431751 [ 9 ] Bug #431752 - CVE-2008-0592 Mozilla text file mishandling https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431752 [ 10 ] Bug #431756 - CVE-2008-0593 Mozilla URL token stealing flaw https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431756 [ 11 ] Bug #432036 - CVE-2008-0594 mozilla: web forgery warning may not be displayed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=432036 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
