3. Description:

 

Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL

Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox.

 

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web

page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or,

potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running

Firefox. (CVE-2009-3979, CVE-2009-3981, CVE-2009-3986)

 

A flaw was found in the Firefox NT Lan Manager (NTLM) authentication

protocol implementation. If an attacker could trick a local user that has

NTLM credentials into visiting a specially-crafted web page, they could

send arbitrary requests, authenticated with the user's NTLM credentials, to

other applications on the user's system. (CVE-2009-3983)

 

A flaw was found in the way Firefox displayed the SSL location bar

indicator. An attacker could create an unencrypted web page that appears to

be encrypted, possibly tricking the user into believing they are visiting a

secure page. (CVE-2009-3984)

 

A flaw was found in the way Firefox displayed blank pages after a user

navigates to an invalid address. If a user visits an attacker-controlled

web page that results in a blank page, the attacker could inject content

into that blank page, possibly tricking the user into believing they are

viewing a legitimate page. (CVE-2009-3985)

 

For technical details regarding these flaws, refer to the Mozilla security

advisories for Firefox 3.0.16. You can find a link to the Mozilla

advisories in the References section of this errata.

 

All Firefox users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain

Firefox version 3.0.16, which corrects these issues. After installing the

update, Firefox must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released

errata relevant to your system have been applied.
