Description:
Several vulnerabilities were reported in Firefox. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting and HTTP response smuggling attacks.
A remote user can create HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will access the nsISelectionPrivate interface of the Selection object and use it to add a SelectionListener [MFSA 2006-43]. Listener notifications can be created in a privileged context to cause arbitrary code execution. moz_bug_r_a4 reported this vulnerability.
A remote user can create HTML using Unicode Byte-order-Mark (BOM) on UTF-8 encoded pages to potentially execute arbitrary scripting code on the target user's browser [MFSA 2006-42]. Masatoshi Kimura reported this vulnerability.
A remote user can create HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will pre-fill a text input control with the path to a file at a known location on the target system and then change the type of the input control to a file upload control to obtain the target file [MFSA 2006-41]. Chuck McAuley reported this vulnerability. This type of vulnerabiltiy was previously reported in MFSA 2006-23 but was not properly fixed at the time.
A remote user can create HTML that can link to local files on the target user's Windows-based system by using Windows filename syntax rather than the 'file:///' URL as the SRC attribute. If the target user selects "View Image", then the target file will be loaded [MFSA 2006-39]. Eric Foley reported this vulnerability.
A remote user can pass optional Certificate Authority name arguments to trigger an array index pointer overflow in crypto.signText() [MFSA 2006-38]. Mikolaj Habryn reported this vulnerability.
A remote user can invoke content-defined setters on an object prototype to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges [MFSA 2006-37]. Paul Nickerson reported this vulnerability and moz_bug_r_a4 developed a demonstration exploit proof-of-concept.
A remote user can use nested 'javascript:' URLs to execute privileged code on the target user's browser if the target user clicks on either the missing-plugin icon in the web page or the "Install Missing Plugins..." button in the infobar and then clicks on the "Manual Install" button on the plugin-finder dialog [MFSA 2006-36]. Paul Nickerson reported this vulnerability. This type of vulnerability was previously reported in MFSA 2005-34 but was not properly fixed at the time.
Under certain circumstances, persisted XUL attributes may be associated with the wrong URL. A remote user may be able to exploit this to execute arbitrary code on the target user's system [MFSA 2006-35]. Jonas Sicking reported this vulnerability.
A remote user can create specially crafted HTML so that when a target user right-clicks on a broken image and chooses "View Image" from the context menu, arbitrary javascript may be executed in the context of an arbitrary site [MFSA 2006-34]. An image SRC attribute containing a 'javascript:' URL that loads on mousedown can trigger this flaw. A similar flaw exists with the frames and the "Show only this frame" option. Paul Nickerson reported this vulnerability.
A remote user can conduct HTTP response smuggling attacks against the target user when Firefox is used with certain proxy servers [MFSA 2006-33]. Kazuho Oku of Cybozu Labs reported this vulnerability.
A remote user may be able to cause the target user's browser to crash or execute arbitrary code [MFSA 2006-32]. The vendor discovered these vulnerabilities.
A remote user can create javascript to be run via EvalInSandbox that can escape the sandbox and gain elevated privileges [MFSA 2006-31]. The javascript can call the valueOf() function on objects created outside the sandbox. moz_bug_r_a4 reported this vulnerability.
