Package : xulrunner
Vulnerability : several
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2009-0771 CVE-2009-0772 CVE-2009-0773 CVE-2009-0774 CVE-2009-0775 CVE-2009-0776

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xulrunner, a
runtime environment for XUL applications, such as the Iceweasel web
browser. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies
the following problems:

CVE-2009-0771

Martijn Wargers, Jesse Ruderman and Josh Soref discovered crashes
in the layout engine, which might allow the execution of arbitrary
code.

CVE-2009-0772

Jesse Ruderman discovered crashes in the layout engine, which
might allow the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2009-0773

Gary Kwong, and Timothee Groleau discovered crashes in the
Javascript engine, which might allow the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2009-0774

Gary Kwong discovered crashes in the Javascript engine, which
might allow the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2009-0775

It was discovered that incorrect memory management in the DOM
element handling may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2009-0776

Georgi Guninski discovered a violation of the same-origin policy
through RDFXMLDataSource and cross-domain redirects.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed
in version 1.9.0.7-0lenny1.

As indicated in the Etch release notes, security support for the
Mozilla products in the oldstable distribution needed to be stopped
before the end of the regular Etch security maintenance life cycle.
You are strongly encouraged to upgrade to stable or switch to a still
supported browser.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.9.0.7-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your xulrunner packages.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
