Package : xulrunner
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2010-3765 CVE-2010-3174 CVE-2010-3176 CVE-2010-3177 CVE-2010-3178 CVE-2010-3179 CVE-2010-3180 CVE-2010-3183

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xulrunner, the
component that provides the core functionality of Iceweasel, Debian's
variant of Mozilla's browser technology.

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
following problems:

CVE-2010-3765
Xulrunner allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code
via vectors related to nsCSSFrameConstructor::ContentAppended,
the appendChild method, incorrect index tracking, and the
creation of multiple frames, which triggers memory corruption.

CVE-2010-3174
CVE-2010-3176
Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in
Xulrunner allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute
arbitrary code via unknown vectors.

CVE-2010-3177
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the
Gopher parser in Xulrunner allow remote attackers to inject
arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted name of a (1) file
or (2) directory on a Gopher server.

CVE-2010-3178
Xulrunner does not properly handle certain modal calls made by
javascript: URLs in circumstances related to opening a new
window and performing cross-domain navigation, which allows
remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy via a
crafted HTML document.

CVE-2010-3179
Stack-based buffer overflow in the text-rendering
functionality in Xulrunner allows remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption
and application crash) via a long argument to the
document.write method.

CVE-2010-3180
Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsBarProp function in
Xulrunner allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by
accessing the locationbar property of a closed window.

CVE-2010-3183
The LookupGetterOrSetter function in Xulrunner does not
properly support window.__lookupGetter__ function calls that
lack arguments, which allows remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (incorrect pointer
dereference and application crash) via a crafted HTML
document.

In addition, this security update includes corrections for regressions
caused by the fixes for CVE-2010-0654 and CVE-2010-2769 in DSA-2075-1
and DSA-2106-1.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.9.0.19-6.

For the unstable distribution (sid) and the upcoming stable
distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version
3.5.15-1 of the iceweasel package.

We recommend that you upgrade your Xulrunner packages.

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

wget url

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

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
