Summary
This host is installed with Mozilla Firefox and is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.
Impact
Successful exploitation will let attacker execute arbitrary code in the context of an affected web application or can cause URL address bar spoofing attacks or may cause denial of service.
Impact Level: System/Application
Solution
Upgrade to Firefox version 3.0.7
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Insight
Multiple flaws due to
- Layout engine error which causes memory corruption and assertion failures.
- Layout engine error related to 'nsCSSStyleSheet::GetOwnerNode', events and garage collection which triggers memory corruption.
- Layout engine error through a splice of an array that contains 'non-set' elements which causes 'jsarray.cpp' to pass an incorrect argument to the 'ResizeSlots' function which causes application crash.
- Vectors related to js_DecompileValueGenerator, jsopcode.cpp, __defineSetter__ and watch which causes a segmentation fault.
- Layout engine error in the vector related to 'gczeal'.
- Double free vulnerability in Firefox via 'cloned XUL DOM elements' which were linked as a parent and child are not properly handled during garbage collection which causes arbitrary code execution.
- 'nsIRDFService' in Firefox allows to bypass the same origin policy and read XML data through another domain by cross-domain redirect.
- Error while decoding invisible characters when they are displayed in the location bar which causes incorrect address to be displayed in the URL bar and causes spoofing attacks.
- Error in 'window.print' function which causes dos attack via nested calls in the 'onclick' attribute of an 'INPUT' element.
Affected
Firefox version prior to 3.0.7 on Windows.
