Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser.
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. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2010-1121, CVE-2010-1200, CVE-2010-1202 and CVE-2010-1203 to these issues.
A flaw was found in the way browser plug-ins interact. It was possible for a plug-in to reference the freed memory from a different plug-in, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-1198 to this issue.
Several integer overflow 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. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2010-1196 and CVE-2010-1199 to these issues.
A focus stealing flaw was found in the way Firefox handled focus changes. A malicious website could use this flaw to steal sensitive data from a user, such as usernames and passwords. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-1125 to this issue.
A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled the "Content-Disposition: attachment" HTTP header when the "Content-Type: multipart" HTTP header was also present. A website that allows arbitrary uploads and relies on the "Content-Disposition: attachment" HTTP header to prevent content from being displayed inline, could be used by an attacker to serve malicious content to users. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-1197 to this issue.
A flaw was found in the Firefox Math.random() function. This function could be used to identify a browsing session and track a user across different websites. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2008-5913 to this issue.
A flaw was found in the Firefox XML document loading security checks. Certain security checks were not being called when an XML document was loaded. This could possibly be leveraged later by an attacker to load certain resources that violate the security policies of the browser or its add-ons. Note that this issue cannot be exploited by only loading an XML document. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-0182 to this issue.
More information about these vulnerabilities can be found in the security advisory issued by RedHat Linux:
| Product: | Affected Version(s): | Risk Level: | Actions: |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avaya Intuity AUDIX LX | IALX 2.0 including 2.0 SP1 and 2.0 SP2 | Low | See recommended actions below. This advisory will not be addressed as no further releases are planned. |
| Avaya Message Networking | MN 5.2.2 and earlier | Low | Upgrade to Message Networking 5.2.3 or later. |
Recommended Actions for System Products:
Avaya strongly recommends that customers follow
networking and security best practices by implementing
firewalls, ACLs, physical security or other appropriate
access restrictions. Though Avaya believes such
restrictions should always be in place; risk to Avaya's
product and the surrounding network from this potential
vulnerability may be mitigated by ensuring these
practices are implemented until such time as a product
update is available or the recommended action is applied.
Further restrictions as deemed necessary based on the
customer's security policies may be required during this
interim period.
Avaya software-only products operate on general-purpose operating systems.

In the case of this advisory Avaya software-only products are not affected by the vulnerability directly but the underlying Linux platform may be. Customers should determine on which Linux operating system the product was installed and then follow that vendor's guidance.
