Description Josh Bressers 2006-06-27 21:30:53 UTC
These issues will remain unfixed in Firefox until we upgrade to Firefox 1.5.
They are not additional issues, simply problems which are fixed as part of the
upgrade.

CVE-2006-2777 MFSA 2006-43
CVE-2006-2776 MFSA 2006-37
CVE-2006-2784 MFSA 2006-36
CVE-2006-2785 MFSA 2006-34
CVE-2006-2787 MFSA 2006-31
Several flaws were found in the way Firefox processes certain javascript
actions. A malicious web page could execute arbitrary javascript
instructions with the permissions of "chrome", allowing the page to steal
sensitive information or install browser malware.

CVE-2006-2783 MFSA 2006-42
A cross site scripting flaw was found in the way Firefox processes Unicode
Byte-order-Mark (BOM) markers in UTF-8 web pages. A malicious web page
could execute a script within the browser that a web input sanitizer could
miss due to a malformed "script" tag.

CVE-2006-2782 MFSA 2006-41
A form file upload flaw was found in the way Firefox handles javascript
input object mutation. A malicious web page could upload an arbitrary local
file at form submission time without user interaction.

CVE-2006-2778 MFSA 2006-38
A denial of service flaw was found in the way Firefox calls the
crypto.signText() javascript function. A malicious web page could crash the
browser if the victim had a client certificate loaded.

CVE-2006-2786 MFSA 2006-33
Two HTTP response smuggling flaws were found in the way Firefox processes
certain invalid HTTP response headers. A malicious web site could return
specially crafted HTTP response headers which may bypass HTTP proxy
restrictions.

CVE-2006-2788
A double free flaw was found in the way the nsIX509::getRawDER method is
called. If a victim visits a carefully crafted web page it is possible to
execute arbitrary code as the user running Mozilla. (CVE-2006-2788)
