The mozilla browsers in old products and Mozilla Seamonkey in SUSE Linux 10.1 were brought to Mozilla Seamonkey to version 1.0.8 and Mozilla Thunderbird was brought to version 1.5.0.10 to fix various security issues. Note that Mozilla Firefox for all distributions and Mozilla seamonkey for openSUSE 10.2 was already released and announced in SUSE-SA:2007:019. Please also see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html for more details. The updates include fixes to the following security problems: - MFSA 2007-01: As part of the Firefox 2.0.0.2 and 1.5.0.10 update releases several bugs were fixed to improve the stability of the browser. Some of these were crashes that showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. These fixes affected the layout engine CVE-2007-0776 and javascript engine CVE-2007-0777. - MFSA 2007-02: Various enhancements were done to make XSS exploits against websites less effective. These included fixes for invalid trailing characters CVE-2007-0995, child frame character set inheritance CVE-2006-6077, and the Adobe Reader universal XSS problem. - CVE-2007-0778: AAd reported a potential disk cache collision that could be exploited by remote attackers to steal confidential data or execute code. - CVE-2007-0779: David Eckel reported that browser UI elements--such as the host name and security indicators--could be spoofed by using a large, mostly transparent, custom cursor and adjusting the CSS3 hotspot property so that the visible part of the cursor floated outside the browser content area. - MFSA 2007-05: Manually opening blocked popups could be exploited by remote attackers to allow XSS attacks CVE-2007-0780 or to execute code in local files CVE-2007-0800. - MFSA 2007-06: Two buffer overflows were found in the NSS handling of Mozilla. CVE-2007-0008: SSL clients such as Firefox and Thunderbird can suffer a buffer overflow if a malicious server presents a certificate with a public key that is too small to encrypt the entire &quot Master Secret&quot . Exploiting this overflow appears to be unreliable but possible if the SSLv2 protocol is enabled ... Description truncated, for more information please check the Reference URL
