Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox.
A use-after-free flaw was found in the way Firefox removed nsDOMAttribute child nodes. In certain circumstances, due to the premature notification of AttributeChildRemoved, a malicious script could possibly use this flaw to 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 name CVE-2011-3659 to this issue.
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 name CVE-2012-0442 to this issue.
A flaw was found in the way Firefox parsed Ogg Vorbis media files. A web page containing a malicious Ogg Vorbis media file 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 name CVE-2012-0444 to this issue.
A flaw was found in the way Firefox parsed certain Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) image files that contained eXtensible Style Sheet Language Transformations (XSLT). A web page containing a malicious SVG image file 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 name CVE-2012-0449 to this issue.
The same-origin policy in Firefox treated http://example.com and http://[example.com] as interchangeable. A malicious script could possibly use this flaw to gain access to sensitive information (such as a client's IP and user e-mail address, or httpOnly cookies) that may be included in HTTP proxy error replies, generated in response to invalid URLs using square brackets. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2011-3670 to this issue.
More information about these vulnerabilities can be found in the security advisory issued by Red Hat:
Product: | Affected Version(s): | Risk Level: | Actions: |
---|---|---|---|
Avaya Communication Server 1000:
|
7.x | None | See Mitigating Factors table below. |
Avaya IQ | 5.x | None | See Mitigating Factors table below. |
Avaya Message Networking | 5.2 thru 5.2.4 | Low | Upgrade to 5.2.5 or later. |
Avaya Messaging Storage Server | 5.2 thru 5.2.13 | Low | Upgrade to 5.2.14 or later. |
Avaya Aura® Presence Services | 6.x | None | See Mitigating Factors table below. |
Avaya Aura® Session Manager | 1.x, 5.x, 6.x | None | See Mitigating Factors table below. |
Avaya Aura® System Manager | 5.x, 6.x | None | See Mitigating Factors table below. |
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
products and the surrounding network from this potential
vulnerability may be mitigated by ensuring these
practices are implemented until such time as an Avaya provided
product update or the recommended Avaya action is applied.
Further restrictions as deemed necessary based on the
customer's security policies may be required during this
interim period, but customers should not modify the System Product
operating system or application unless the change is approved by Avaya.
Making changes that are not approved may void the Avaya product service
contract.
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 affected Avaya products:
Vulnerability | Mitigating Factors |
---|---|
CVE-2011-3659 CVE-2011-3670 CVE-2012-0442 CVE-2012-0444 CVE-2012-0449 |
The risk is Low for Message Networking and Message Storage Server
because use of Firefox to browse Web sites would constitute non-standard
user interaction. There is no risk for CS1000, IQ, Presence Services, Session Manager, and System Manager because only xulrunner is installed. Firefox is not installed, which would be required to exploit these vulnerabilities. |
Avaya software-only products operate on general-purpose operating systems. Occasionally vulnerabilities may be discovered in the underlying operating system or applications that come with the operating system. These vulnerabilities often do not impact the software-only product directly but may threaten the integrity of the underlying platform.
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.
