Description Josh Bressers 2006-04-13 04:13:18 UTC

Table Rebuilding Code Execution Vulnerability


TippingPoint  and  the Zero Day Initiative reports that an invalid and
non-sensical ordering of table-related tags causes Mozilla to use a negative
array index. This invalid memory use can be exploited to run code of the
attacker's choice.

Workaround

Upgrade to fixed version.

Although JavaScript is not involved in the vulnerability itself, disabling
JavaScript may prevent an attacker from effectively preparing memory in
order to carry out the exploit.

Lifting embargo

Comment 2 Matěj Cepl 2007-07-18 17:31:13 UTC

Fedora Core 5 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the
updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora Core 6, or
Fedora 7, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please
let us know in this bug report.  If after a month's time we have not heard back
from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX.

Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter.

Thanks in advance.

Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2007-08-28 14:49:48 UTC

We haven't got any reply to the last question about reproducability of the bug
with Fedora Core 6, Fedora 7, or Fedora devel. Mass closing this bug, so if you
have new information that would help us fix this bug, please reopen it with the
additional information.
