-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-1535 2008-02-13 04:18:18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : galeon Product : Fedora 8 Version : 2.0.4 Release : 1.fc8.2 URL : http://galeon.sourceforge.net/ Summary : GNOME2 Web browser based on Mozilla Description : Galeon is a web browser built around Gecko (Mozilla's rendering engine) and Necko (Mozilla's networking engine). It's a GNOME web browser, designed to take advantage of as many GNOME technologies as makes sense. Galeon was written to do just one thing - browse the web. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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> - 2.0.4-1.2 - Rebuild against newer gecko * Sun Jan 6 2008 Denis Leroy <denis@poolshark.org> - 2.0.4-1.1 - Fixed plugin-wrapper patch * Sat Dec 15 2007 Denis Leroy <denis@poolshark.org> - 2.0.4-1 - Update to upstream 2.0.4 - Some patches integrated upstream, plugin-wrapper patch ported * Thu Nov 29 2007 Martin Stransky <stransky@redhat.com> - 2.0.3-17 - Updated patch for wrapped plugins * Tue Nov 27 2007 Denis Leroy <denis@poolshark.org> - 2.0.3-16 - Rebuild with gecko lib 1.8.1.10 * Mon Nov 19 2007 Martin Stransky <stransky@redhat.com> - 2.0.3-15 - Added support for wrapped plugins * Tue Nov 6 2007 Denis Leroy <denis@poolshark.org> - 2.0.3-14 - Rebuild with gecko lib 1.8.1.9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
