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-2010-3766, CVE-2010-3767, CVE-2010-3772, CVE-2010-3776 and CVE-2010-3777 to these issues.
A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled malformed JavaScript. A website with an object containing malicious JavaScript could cause Firefox to execute that JavaScript with the privileges of the user running Firefox. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-3771 to this issue.
This update adds support for the Sanitiser for OpenType (OTS) library to Firefox. This library helps prevent potential exploits in malformed OpenType fonts by verifying the font file prior to use. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-3768 to this issue.
A flaw was found in the way Firefox loaded Java LiveConnect scripts. Malicious web content could load a Java LiveConnect script in a way that would result in the plug-in object having elevated privileges, allowing it to execute Java code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-3775 to this issue.
It was found that the fix for CVE-2010-0179 was incomplete when the Firebug add-on was used. If a user visited a website containing malicious JavaScript while the Firebug add-on was enabled, it could cause Firefox to execute arbitrary JavaScript with the privileges of the user running Firefox. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-3773 to this issue.
A flaw was found in the way Firefox presented the location bar to users. A malicious website could trick a user into thinking they are visiting the site reported by the location bar, when the page is actually content controlled by an attacker. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-3774 to this issue.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the Firefox x-mac-arabic, x-mac-farsi, and x-mac-hebrew character encodings. Certain characters were converted to angle brackets when displayed. If server-side script filtering missed these cases, it could result in Firefox executing JavaScript code with the permissions of a different website. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2010-3770 to this issue.

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.
When determining risk, Avaya takes into account many factors as outlined by Avaya's Security Vulnerability Classification Policy. The following table describes factors that mitigate the risk of specific vulnerabilities for the listed affected Avaya products:
| Vulnerability | Mitigating Factors |
|---|---|
|
CVE-2010-3766 CVE-2010-3767 CVE-2010-3768 CVE-2010-3770 CVE-2010-3771 CVE-2010-3772 CVE-2010-3773 CVE-2010-3774 CVE-2010-3775 CVE-2010-3776 CVE-2010-3777 |
The risk level is None for CS 1000, IQ, Presence Services, Session Manager, and System Manager because they have xulrunner installed, but not Firefox. Therefore, these CVEs are not exploitable on these products. The risk level is Low for Messaging Storage Server, Message Networking, and IALX because they have the Firefox browser installed, but it is only intended for system management on these products. It's not intended that the browser be used for public Internet browsing, which would constitute non-standard user interaction. |
Avaya software-only products operate on general-purpose operating systems.
