Last Update Date: 28 Jan 2011 Release Date: 19 Feb 2010 5212 Views

RISK: Medium Risk

Multiple vulnerabilitieshave been identified in Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey, which could be exploited by attackers to manipulate or disclose certain data, bypass security restrictions or compromise a vulnerable system.

1. Due to memory corruption errors in the JavaScript and browser engines when parsing malformed data, which could be exploited by attackers to crash a vulnerable browser or execute arbitrary code.

2. Due to a heap corruption error in the implementation of Web Workers, which could be exploited to crash a vulnerable browser or execute arbitrary code.

3. Due to a use-after-free error in the HTML parser, which could be exploited to crash a vulnerable browser or execute arbitrary code.

4. Due to an error related to "dialogArguments()" calls, which could be exploited to conduct cross domain scripting attacks.

5. Due to an error when processing a SVG document embedded into another document with a specially crafted "Content-Type", which could be exploited to conduct cross domain scripting attacks.
