Description Mark J. Cox 2006-09-14 11:49:24 UTC
** MFSA-2006-57 **

        Two flaws were found in the way Firefox processed certain
        regular expressions.  A malicious web page could crash the
        browser or possibly execute arbitrary code as the user running
        Firefox.  (CVE-2006-4565, CVE-2006-4566)

        CVE-2006-4565 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346090
        CVE-2006-4566 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346794
        impact=critical,public=20060914

        ** MFSA-2006-58 **

        A flaw was found in the Firefox auto-update verfication
        system.  An attacker who has the ability to spoof a victim's
        DNS could get Firefox to download and install malicious code.
        In order to exploit this issue an attacker would also need to
        get a victim to previously accept an unverifiable certificate.
        DNS.  (CVE-2006-4567)

        ** MFSA-2006-59 **

        A flaw was found in the handling of Javascript timed events.
        A malicious web page could crash the browser or possibly
        execute arbitrary code as the user running
        Firefox. (CVE-2006-4253)

        ** MFSA-2006-60 **

        Daniel Bleichenbacher recently described an implementation
        error in RSA signature verification.  For RSA keys with
        exponent 3 it is possible for an attacker to forge a signature
        that which would be incorrectly verified by the NSS library.
        Firefox as shipped trusts several root Certificate Authorities
        that use exponent 3.  An attacker could have created a
        carefully crafted SSL certificate which be incorrectly trusted
        when their site was visited by a victim. (CVE-2006-4340)

        impact=important,public=20060914

        ** MFSA-2006-61 **

        Firefox did not properly prevent a frame in one domain from
        injecting content into a sub-frame that belongs to another
        domain, which facilitates website spoofing and other
        attacks (CVE-2006-4568)

        https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343168

        public=20060914,impact=moderate

        ** MFSA-2006-62 **

        Firefox did not load manually opened, blocked popups in the
        right domain context, which could lead to cross-site scripting
        attacks.  In order to exploit this issue an attacker would
        need to find a site which would frame their malicious page and
        convince the user to manually open a blocked popup.
        (CVE-2006-4569)

        https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343175
        public=20060914,impact=low

        ** MFSA-2006-64 **

        A number of flaws were found in Firefox.  A malicious web page
        could crash the browser or possibly execute arbitrary code as
        the user running Firefox.  (CVE-2006-4571)
