New security releases for Firefox and Thunderbird
Security vulnerabilities in the Firefox browser and Thunderbird mail client
are scary. Both tools are widely used, exposed to arbitrary data from the
Internet, and used with important (and confidential) information. A
widespread exploit has the potential to affect large numbers of people in
highly unfortunate ways. So, whenever the Mozilla Project fixes a set of
vulnerabilities, it's worth paying attention.
The recently released Firefox
1.5.0.4 addresses a
fairly long list of vulnerabilities. Some of the most significant of
those (the ones rated "critical") are:
There are also several vulnerabilities which are not considered to be quite
as frightening, but which are still in need of fixing.
Thunderbird
1.5.0.4 is also out, with its
own vulnerability list. Only one of these is deemed critical: a double-free
error on an invalid VCard which appears to be exploitable. It is worth
noting, however, that Thunderbird uses much of the Firefox code base for
rendering HTML, so it can also suffer from Firefox's vulnerabilities. So,
in particular, if a user allows the execution of JavaScript in incoming
mail (an especially bad idea which is not the default behavior), most of
the Firefox vulnerabilities listed above are also exploitable in
Thunderbird.
There is another common theme found in all of the Firefox vulnerabilities:
they can all be mitigated by turning off JavaScript. The sad fact is that
executable content seems to be a hard thing to get right; it is an ongoing
source of vulnerabilities in almost every context where it can be found.
So it is not surprising that many people simply turn off JavaScript
entirely. It is unfortunate that so many web sites are inaccessible to
browsers running without JavaScript, forcing security-conscious users to
enable a problematic feature they might prefer to do without.
(See the LWN vulnerability
entry for distributor updates addressing these problems. As of this
writing, the list of updates is discouragingly short, with only Slackware
and rPath getting fixed out within the first couple of days after
disclosure).

Multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux have been found.
- An error in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) code that

CLOSED state, could be exploited by attackers to cause a kernel panic via a
specially crafted packet.
- An error exist when handling incoming IP-fragmented SCTP control
chunks, which could be exploited by attackers to cause a kernel panic via a
specially crafted packet.
- Linux SCTP (lksctp) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (infinite recursion and crash) via a packet that contains two or
more DATA fragments, which causes an skb pointer to refer back to itself
when the full message is reassembled, leading to infinite recursion in the
sctp_skb_pull function
- Linux SCTP (lksctp) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (deadlock) via a large number of small messages to a receiver
application that cannot process the messages quickly enough, which leads to
"spillover of the receive buffer."
- A vulnerability has been identified due to an input validation error
when processing arguments containing backslash ("\\") characters passed to
certain commands (e.g. "cd"), which could be exploited by authenticated
attackers to escape chroot restrictions for a CIFS or SMBFS mounted
filesystem.

Several buffer overflows have been discovered in libgd's PNG handling

If an attacker tricked a user into loading a malicious PNG image, they

that lets users upload images. Therefore this vulnerability might lead
to privilege escalation to a web server's privileges.
Multiple buffer overflows in the gd graphics library (libgd) 2.0.21 and

image files that trigger the overflows due to improper calls to the
gdMalloc function. |

CVE-2006-1991
CVE-2006-3017
|
| Created: | May 25, 2006 |
Updated: | August 18, 2006 |
| Description: |
The php wordwrap() function is vulnerable to an integer overflow.
Attackers can submit long arguments to cause a heap-based buffer
overflow, allowing arbitrary code execution.
PHP 5.x and PHP 4.4.2 have a problem with the substr_compare() function.
An attacker can use an out-of-bounds offset argument to cause a
memory access violation, causing a denial of service.
A bug in zend_hash_del() allowed attackers to prevent unsetting of some variables |
