-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-2662 2008-03-26 16:45:26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : epiphany-extensions Product : Fedora 7 Version : 2.18.3 Release : 8 URL : http://www.gnome.org/projects/epiphany/extensions Summary : Extensions for Epiphany, the GNOME web browser Description : Epiphany Extensions is a collection of extensions for Epiphany, the GNOME web browser. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser. Several flaws were found in the processing of some malformed web content. A web page containing such malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2008-1233, CVE-2008-1235, CVE-2008-1236, CVE-2008-1237) Several flaws were found in the display of malformed web content. A web page containing specially-crafted content could, potentially, trick a Firefox user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-1234, CVE-2008-1238, CVE-2008-1241) All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues, and are rebuilt against the update Firefox packages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Mar 25 2008 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> - 2.18.3-8 - Rebuild against newer gecko * Fri Feb 8 2008 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> - 2.18.3-7 - Rebuild against newer gecko * Tue Nov 27 2007 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> - 2.18.3-6 - Rebuild against newer gecko * Tue Nov 6 2007 Peter Gordon <peter@thecodergeek.com> - 2.18.3-5 - Rebuild for new Gecko (Firefox 2.0.0.9) * Sat Oct 20 2007 Peter Gordon <peter@thecodergeek.com> - 2.18.3-4 - Rebuild against new Gecko release (Firefox 2.0.0.8) * Mon Jul 30 2007 Peter Gordon <peter@thecodergeek.com> - 2.18.3-3 - Add a patch from upstream SVN to fix GNOME bug 452119 (crash in the filterset.g updater tool from the AdBlocker extension): + fix-adblock-filtersetg-updater.patch * Wed Jul 18 2007 Peter Gordon <peter@thecodergeek.com> - 2.18.3-2 - Rebuild against new Gecko release (Firefox 2.0.0.5). * Wed Jul 4 2007 Peter Gordon <peter@thecodergeek.com> - 2.18.3-1 - Update to new upstream release (2.18.3). * Wed Jun 6 2007 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> - 2.18.2-3 - Specfiles should _NOT_ call rpm directly. Fix the previous bug the correct way, by doing explicit requires on the exact versions instead of via rpm -q * Tue Jun 5 2007 Peter Gordon <peter@thecodergeek.com> - 2.18.2-2 - Add %{_target_cpu} to versioned Firefox dependency to avoid multilib updating issues such as bug 242318, wherein the 32-bit older Firefox build matches the versioned dependency, but the updated 64-bit Firefox build matches the 64-bit shared library dependencies. (Thanks to Frederik Hertzum for the bug report.) * Wed May 30 2007 Peter Gordon <peter@thecodergeek.com> - 2.18.2-1 - Update to new upstream bugfix release (2.18.2); and rebuild for newer Firefox/Gecko version (2.0.0.4). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #438715 - CVE-2008-1234 universal XSS using event handlers https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438715 [ 2 ] Bug #438713 - CVE-2008-1233 Mozilla products XPCNativeWrapper pollution https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438713 [ 3 ] Bug #438718 - CVE-2008-1236 browser engine crashes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438718 [ 4 ] Bug #438724 - CVE-2008-1238 Referrer spoofing bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438724 [ 5 ] Bug #438721 - CVE-2008-1237 javascript crashes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438721 [ 6 ] Bug #438730 - CVE-2008-1241 XUL popup spoofing https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438730 [ 7 ] Bug #438717 - CVE-2008-1235 chrome privilege via wrong principal https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438717 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
