Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox.
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-2012-1970, CVE-2012-1972, CVE-2012-1973, CVE-2012-1974, CVE-2012-1975, CVE-2012-1976, CVE-2012-3956, CVE-2012-3957, CVE-2012-3958, CVE-2012-3959, CVE-2012-3960, CVE-2012-3961, CVE-2012-3962, CVE-2012-3963 and CVE-2012-3964 to these issues.
A web page containing a malicious Scalable Vector Graphics (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 names CVE-2012-3969 and CVE-2012-3970 to these issues.
Two flaws were found in the way Firefox rendered certain images using WebGL. A web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, under certain conditions, possibly 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-2012-3967 and CVE-2012-3968 to these issues.
A flaw was found in the way Firefox decoded embedded bitmap images in Icon Format (ICO) files. A web page containing a malicious ICO file could cause Firefox to crash or, under certain conditions, possibly 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-2012-3966 to this issue.
A flaw was found in the way the "eval" command was handled by the Firefox Web Console. Running "eval" in the Web Console while viewing a web page containing malicious content could possibly cause Firefox to 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-2012-3980 to this issue.
An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in the way Firefox used the format-number feature of XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations). A web page containing malicious content could possibly cause an information leak, or cause Firefox to crash. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2012-3972 to this issue.
It was found that the SSL certificate information for a previously visited site could be displayed in the address bar while the main window displayed a new page. This could lead to phishing attacks as attackers could use this flaw to trick users into believing they are viewing a trusted site. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2012-3976 to this issue.
A flaw was found in the location object implementation in Firefox. Malicious content could use this flaw to possibly allow restricted content to be loaded. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2012-3978 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
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-2012-1970 CVE-2012-1972 CVE-2012-1973 CVE-2012-1974 CVE-2012-1975 CVE-2012-1976 CVE-2012-3956 CVE-2012-3957 CVE-2012-3958 CVE-2012-3959 CVE-2012-3960 CVE-2012-3961 CVE-2012-3962 CVE-2012-3963 CVE-2012-3964 CVE-2012-3966 CVE-2012-3967 CVE-2012-3968 CVE-2012-3969 CVE-2012-3970 CVE-2012-3972 CVE-2012-3976 CVE-2012-3978 CVE-2012-3980 |
These are a low risk for one-X Client Enablement Services as Firefox is installed but not configured or used by default. There is no risk for Avaya IQ, CS1000, IP Office Application Server, Presence Services, Session Manager or System Manager as only the xulrunner component is installed. |
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.
