Insight
Insight
Security issues were identified and fixed in firefox 3.0.x: Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.14 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors (CVE-2009-3069, CVE-2009-3070, CVE-2009-3071, CVE-2009-3072). Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.14 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors (CVE-2009-3073, CVE-2009-3074, CVE-2009-3075). Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.14 does not properly implement certain dialogs associated with the (1) pkcs11.addmodule and (2) pkcs11.deletemodule operations, which makes it easier for remote attackers to trick a user into installing or removing an arbitrary PKCS11 module (CVE-2009-3076). Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.14 does not properly manage pointers for the columns (aka TreeColumns) of a XUL tree element, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML document, related to a dangling pointer vulnerability. (CVE-2009-3077). Visual truncation vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.14 allows remote attackers to trigger a vertical scroll and spoof URLs via unspecified Unicode characters with a tall line-height property (CVE-2009-3078). Unspecified vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.14 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript with chrome privileges via vectors involving an object, the FeedWriter, and the BrowserFeedWriter (CVE-2009-3079). This update provides the latest Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x to correct these issues. Additionally, some packages which require so, have been rebuilt and are being provided as updates. Affected: 2009.0, 2009.1, Enterprise Server 5.0
