Vulnerabilities (CVE)

The (1) Password Manager in Mozilla Firefox 2.0, and 1.5.0.8 and earlier; and the (2) Passcard Manager in Netscape 8.1.2 and possibly other versions, do not properly verify that an ACTION URL in a FORM element containing a password INPUT element matches the web site for which the user stored a password, which allows remote attackers to obtain passwords via a password INPUT element on a different web page located on the web site intended for this password.

Netscape 6 and 8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large integer value for the length property of a Select object, a related issue to CVE-2009-1692.

AcroPDF.DLL in Adobe Reader 8.0, when accessed from Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, or Opera, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (unspecified resource consumption) via a .pdf URL with an anchor identifier that begins with search= followed by many %n sequences, a different vulnerability than CVE-2006-6027 and CVE-2006-6236.

Multiple argument injection vulnerabilities in Netscape Navigator 9 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a NULL byte (%00) and shell metacharacters in a (1) mailto, (2) nntp, (3) news, (4) snews, or (5) telnet URI, a similar issue to CVE-2007-3670.

Argument injection vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer, when running on systems with Netscape installed and certain URIs registered, allows remote attackers to conduct cross-browser scripting attacks and execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a -chrome argument to the navigatorurl URI, which are inserted into the command line that is created when invoking netscape.exe, a related issue to CVE-2007-3670. NOTE: there has been debate about whether the issue is in Internet E ... Argument injection vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer, when running on systems with Netscape installed and certain URIs registered, allows remote attackers to conduct cross-browser scripting attacks and execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a -chrome argument to the navigatorurl URI, which are inserted into the command line that is created when invoking netscape.exe, a related issue to CVE-2007-3670. NOTE: there has been debate about whether the issue is in Internet Explorer or Netscape. As of 20070713, it is CVE's opinion that IE appears to not properly delimit the URL argument when invoking Netscape; this issue could arise with other protocol handlers in IE.

Mozilla 1.9 M8 and earlier, Mozilla Firefox 2 before 2.0.0.15, SeaMonkey 1.1.5 and other versions before 1.1.10, Netscape 9.0, and other Mozilla-based web browsers, when a user accepts an SSL server certificate on the basis of the CN domain name in the DN field, regard the certificate as also accepted for all domain names in subjectAltName:dNSName fields, which makes it easier for remote attackers to trick a user into accepting an invalid certificate for a spoofed web site.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Netscape and Mozilla allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a jar: URL that references a malformed .jar file, which overflows a buffer during decompression.

Mozilla Suite 1.7.13, Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.3 and possibly other versions before before 1.8.0, and Netscape 7.2 and 8.1, and possibly other versions and products, allows remote user-assisted attackers to obtain information such as the installation path by causing exceptions to be thrown and checking the message contents.

NOTE: despite initial reports, the Mozilla vendor does not believe that this issue can be used to trigger a crash or buffer overflow in Firefox.

Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Netscape 8.0.4 and 7.2, and K-Meleon before 0.9.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and delayed application startup) via a web site with a large title, which is recorded in history.dat but not processed efficiently during startup. NOTE: despite initial reports, the Mozilla vendor does not believe that this issue can be used to trigger a crash or buffer overflow in Firefox. Also, it has been independently reported that Netscape 8.1 does not have this issue.

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 ...

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.

Firefox before 1.0.3, Mozilla Suite before 1.7.7, and Netscape 7.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary script and code via a new search plugin using sidebar.addSearchEngine, aka "Firesearching 1."

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.

Netscape 7.x to 7.2, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to spoof arbitrary web sites by injecting content from one window into a target window whose name is known but resides in a different domain, as demonstrated using a pop-up window on a trusted web site, aka the "window injection" vulnerability.

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.

Buffer overflow in the Client Detection Tool (CDT) plugin (npcdt.dll) for Netscape 7.02 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an attachment with a long filename.

Netscape 7.0 and Mozilla 5.0 do not immediately delete messages in the trash folder when users select the 'Empty Trash' option, which could allow local users to access deleted messages.

The byte code verifier component of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) allows remote execution through malicious web pages.

By default, Internet Explorer 5.0 and other versions enables the "Navigate sub-frames across different domains" option, which allows frame spoofing.

The Apple Java plugin, as used in Netscape 7.1 and 7.2, Mozilla 1.7.2, and Firefox 0.9.3 on MacOS X 10.3.5, when tabbed browsing is enabled, does not properly handle SetWindow(NULL) calls, which allows Java applets from one tab to draw to other tabs and facilitates phishing attacks that spoof tabs.

Firefox before 1.0.3, Mozilla Suite before 1.7.7, and Netscape 7.2 allows remote attackers to replace existing search plugins with malicious ones using sidebar.addSearchEngine and the same filename as the target engine, which may not be displayed in the GUI, which could then be used to execute malicious script, aka "Firesearching 2."

Netscape Mail Notification (nsnotify) utility in Netscape Communicator uses IMAP without SSL, even if the user has set a preference for Communicator to use an SSL connection, allowing a remote attacker to sniff usernames and passwords in plaintext.

The find_replen function in jsstr.c in the Javascript engine for Mozilla Suite 1.7.6, Firefox 1.0.1 and 1.0.2, and Netscape 7.2 allows remote attackers to read portions of heap memory in a Javascript string via the lambda replace method.
