Updated firefox packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

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 backported patches to resolve these issues.

    moz_bug_r_a4 and Boris Zbarsky discovered that pages could escape from     its sandboxed context and run with chrome privileges, and inject script     content into another site, violating the browser's same origin policy     (CVE-2008-0415).
    Gerry Eisenhaur discovered a directory traversal vulnerability when     using 'flat' addons (CVE-2008-0418).
    Alexey Proskuryakov, Yosuke Hasegawa and Simon Montagu reported     multiple character handling flaws related to the backspace character,     the '0x80' character, involving zero-length non-ASCII sequences in     multiple character sets, that could facilitate Cross-Site Scripting     attacks (CVE-2008-0416).
    The following vulnerability was reported in Thunderbird and SeaMonkey:
    regenrecht (via iDefense) reported a heap-based buffer overflow when     rendering an email message with an external MIME body (CVE-2008-0304).
    The following vulnerabilities were reported in Firefox, SeaMonkey and     XULRunner:
    The fix for CVE-2008-1237 in Firefox 2.0.0.13     and SeaMonkey 1.1.9 introduced a new crash vulnerability     (CVE-2008-1380).
    hong and Gregory Fleischer each reported a     variant on earlier reported bugs regarding focus shifting in file input     controls (CVE-2008-0414).
    Gynvael Coldwind (Vexillium) discovered that BMP images could be used     to reveal uninitialized memory, and that this data could be extracted     using a 'canvas' feature (CVE-2008-0420).
    Chris Thomas reported that background tabs could create a borderless     XUL pop-up in front of pages in other tabs (CVE-2008-1241).
    oo.rio.oo discovered that a plain text file with a     'Content-Disposition: attachment' prevents Firefox from rendering     future plain text files within the browser (CVE-2008-0592).
    Martin Straka reported that the '.href' property of stylesheet DOM     nodes is modified to the final URI of a 302 redirect, bypassing the     same origin policy (CVE-2008-0593).
    Gregory Fleischer discovered that under certain circumstances, leading     characters from the hostname part of the 'Referer:' HTTP header are     removed (CVE-2008-1238).

    Justin Dolske discovered a CRLF injection vulnerability when storing     passwords (CVE-2008-0417).
    Michal Zalewski discovered that Firefox does not properly manage a     delay timer used in confirmation dialogs (CVE-2008-0591).
    Emil Ljungdahl and Lars-Olof Moilanen discovered that a web forgery     warning dialog is not displayed if the entire contents of a web page     are in a DIV tag that uses absolute positioning (CVE-2008-0594).
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web     page or email that will trigger one of the vulnerabilities, possibly     leading to the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service. It     is also possible for an attacker to trick a user to upload arbitrary     files when submitting a form, to corrupt saved passwords for other     sites, to steal login credentials, or to conduct Cross-Site Scripting     and Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

A number of security vulnerabilities have been discovered and corrected in the latest Mozilla Thunderbird program, version 2.0.0.12.

This update provides the latest Thunderbird to correct these issues.
