Vulnerabilities (CVE)

Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird before 1.5.0.4 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) nested <option> tags in a select tag, (2) a DOMNodeRemoved mutation event, (3) "Content-implemented tree views," (4) BoxObjects, (5) the XBL implementation, (6) an iframe that attempts to remove itself, which leads to memory corruption.

Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.1, and possibly other versions, preserves some records of user activity even after uninstalling, which allows local users who share a Windows profile to view the records after a new installation of Firefox, as reported for the list of Passwords Never Saved web sites. NOTE: The vendor has disputed this issue, stating that "The uninstaller is primarily there to uninstall the application. It is not there to uninstall user data.

Bugzilla 2.16.10, 2.17 through 2.18.4, and 2.20 does not properly handle certain characters in the mostfreqthreshold parameter in duplicates.cgi, which allows remote attackers to trigger a SQL error.

Mozilla allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash from null dereference or infinite loop) via a web page that contains a (1) TEXTAREA, (2) INPUT, (3) FRAMESET or (4) IMG tag followed by a null character and some trailing characters, as demonstrated by mangleme.

Certain privileged UI code in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird before 1.5.0.4 calls content-defined setters on an object prototype, which allows remote attackers to execute code at a higher privilege than intended.

Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 and 1.5.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an HTML tag with a large number of script action handlers such as onload and onmouseover, which triggers the crash when the user views the page source. NOTE: Red Hat has disputed this issue, suggesting that "It is likely the reporter was running the IE Tab extension," and Mozilla also confirmed that this is not an issue in Firefox itself

Bugzilla 2.17.1 through 2.18, 2.19.1, and 2.19.2, when a user is prompted to log in while attempting to view a chart, displays the password in the URL, which may allow local users to gain sensitive information from web logs or browser history.

describecomponents.cgi in Bugzilla 2.17.3 and 2.17.4 does not properly verify group membership when bug entry groups are used, which allows remote attackers to list component descriptions for otherwise restricted products.

Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5 allows user-assisted attackers to cause an unspecified denial of service by tricking the user into importing an LDIF file with a long field into the address book, as demonstrated by a long homePhone field.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 1.5.0.4 allows user-assisted remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by tricking a user into (1) performing a "View Image" on a broken image in which the SRC attribute contains a Javascript URL, or (2) selecting "Show only this frame" on a frame whose SRC attribute contains a Javascript URL.

Firefox 1.0.6 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a Proxy Auto-Config (PAC) script that uses an eval statement. NOTE: it is not clear whether an untrusted party has any role in triggering this issue, so it might not be a vulnerability.

The InstallTrigger.install method in Firefox before 1.0.5 and Mozilla before 1.7.9 allows remote attackers to execute a callback function in the context of another domain by forcing a page navigation after the install method has been called, which causes the callback to be run in the context of the new page and results in a same origin violation.

The privileged "chrome" UI code in Firefox before 1.0.3 and Mozilla Suite before 1.7.7 allows remote attackers to gain privileges by overriding certain properties or methods of DOM nodes, as demonstrated using multiple attacks involving the eval function or the Script object.

Firefox before 1.0.5 allows remote attackers to steal information and possibly execute arbitrary code by using standalone applications such as Flash and QuickTime to open a javascript: URL, which is run in the context of the previous page, and may lead to code execution if the standalone application loads a privileged chrome: URL.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 1.5 before 1.5.0.5, Thunderbird before 1.5.0.5, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the XPCNativeWrapper(window).Function construct.

Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 and Firefox 1.0.6 allows remote attackers to obfuscate URIs via a long URI, which causes the address bar to go blank and could facilitate phishing attacks.

Bugzilla 2.14 before 2.14.2, and 2.16 before 2.16rc2, does not properly handle URL-encoded field names that are generated by some browsers, which could cause certain fields to appear to be unset, which has the effect of removing group permissions on bugs when buglist.cgi is provided with the encoded field names.

Concurrency vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via multiple Javascript timed events that load a deeply nested XML file, followed by redirecting the browser to another page, which leads to a concurrency failure that causes structures to be freed incorrectly, as demonstrated by (1) ffoxdie and (2) ffoxdie3. NOTE: it has been reported that Netscape 8.1 and K-Meleon 1.0.1 are also affe ... Concurrency vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via multiple Javascript timed events that load a deeply nested XML file, followed by redirecting the browser to another page, which leads to a concurrency failure that causes structures to be freed incorrectly, as demonstrated by (1) ffoxdie and (2) ffoxdie3. NOTE: it has been reported that Netscape 8.1 and K-Meleon 1.0.1 are also affected by ffoxdie. Mozilla confirmed to CVE that ffoxdie and ffoxdie3 trigger the same underlying vulnerability. NOTE: it was later reported that Firefox 2.0 RC2 and 1.5.0.7 are also affected.

Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird 1.x before 1.5.0.2 and 1.0.x before 1.0.8, Mozilla Suite before 1.7.13, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via "an invalid and non-sensical ordering of table-related tags" that results in a negative array index.

SQL injection vulnerability in Bugzilla 2.16.3 and earlier, and 2.17.1 through 2.17.4, allows remote authenticated users with editkeywords privileges to execute arbitrary SQL via the id parameter to editkeywords.cgi.

Mozilla allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a Javascript BODY onload event that calls the window function.

process_bug.cgi in Bugzilla 2.9 through 2.18rc2 and 2.19 from CVS does not check edit permissions on the keywords field, which allows remote authenticated users to modify the keywords in a bug via the keywordaction parameter.

Mozilla Camino 1.0 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (null dereference and application crash or hang) via HTML with certain improperly nested elements. NOTE: this might be the same issue as CVE-2006-1724.

Firefox before 1.0.4 and Mozilla Suite before 1.7.8 do not properly limit privileges of Javascript eval and Script objects in the calling context, which allows remote attackers to conduct unauthorized activities via "non-DOM property overrides," a variant of CVE-2005-1160.

The PLUGINSPAGE functionality in Mozilla Firefox before 1.5.0.4 allows remote user-assisted attackers to execute privileged code by tricking a user into installing missing plugins and selecting the "Manual Install" button, then using nested javascript: URLs. NOTE: the manual install button is used for downloading software from a remote web site, so this issue would not cross privilege boundaries if the user progresses to the point of installing malicious software from the attacker-controlled si ...

The POP3 mail client in Mozilla 1.0 and earlier, and Netscape Communicator 4.7 and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (no new mail) via a mail message containing a dot (.) at a newline, which is interpreted as the end of the message.

Argument injection vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6 allows user-assisted remote attackers to modify command line arguments to an invoked mail client via " (double quote) characters in a mailto: scheme handler, as demonstrated by launching Microsoft Outlook with an arbitrary filename as an attachment. NOTE: it is not clear whether this issue is implementation-specific or a problem in the Microsoft API.

Mozilla Firefox 1.5 before 1.5.0.5 and SeaMonkey before 1.0.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by changing certain properties of the window navigator object (window.navigator) that are accessed when Java starts up, which causes a crash that leads to code execution.

Unknown vulnerability in LiveConnect in Mozilla 1.7 beta allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files in known locations.

Unknown vulnerability in bonsai Mozilla CVS query tool allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as the www-data user.

Firefox before 1.0 and Mozilla before 1.7.5 display the secure site lock icon when a view-source: URL references a secure SSL site while an insecure page is being loaded, which could facilitate phishing attacks.

The Javascript "Same Origin Policy" (SOP), as implemented in (1) Netscape, (2) Mozilla, and (3) Internet Explorer, allows a remote web server to access HTTP and SOAP/XML content from restricted sites by mapping the malicious server's parent DNS domain name to the restricted site, loading a page from the restricted site into one frame, and passing the information to the attacker-controlled frame, which is allowed because the document.domain of the two frames matches on the parent domain.

The JavaScript engine in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird 1.x before 1.5 and 1.0.x before 1.0.8, Mozilla Suite before 1.7.13, and SeaMonkey before 1.0 does not properly handle temporary variables that are not garbage collected, which might allow remote attackers to trigger operations on freed memory and cause memory corruption.

Bugzilla 2.18rc1 through 2.18.3, 2.19 through 2.20rc2, and 2.21 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information such as the list of installed products via the config.cgi file, which is accessible even when the requirelogin parameter is set.

Mozilla 1.6 and possibly other versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a XBM (X BitMap) file with a large (1) height or (2) width value.

Multiple integer overflows in Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Thunderbird 1.5 if Javascript is enabled in mail, and SeaMonkey before 1.0 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the (1) EscapeAttributeValue in jsxml.c for E4X, (2) nsSVGCairoSurface::Init in SVG, and (3) nsCanvasRenderingContext2D.cpp in Canvas.

Unknown versions of Mozilla allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (high CPU/RAM consumption) using Javascript with an infinite loop that continues to add input to a form, possibly as the result of inserting control characters, as demonstrated using an embedded ctrl-U.
