Background

Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser and Mozilla Thunderbird an open-source email client, both from the Mozilla Project. The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to deliver production-quality releases of code derived from the application formerly known as the ‘Mozilla Application Suite’. XULRunner is a Mozilla runtime package that can be used to bootstrap XUL+XPCOM applications such as Firefox and Thunderbird. NSS is Mozilla’s Network Security Services library that implements PKI support. IceCat is the GNU version of Firefox.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, NSS, GNU IceCat, and XULRunner. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web page or email, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a remote attacker may be able to perform Man-in-the-Middle attacks, obtain sensitive information, bypass restrictions and protection mechanisms, force file downloads, conduct XML injection attacks, conduct XSS attacks, bypass the Same Origin Policy, spoof URL’s for phishing attacks, trigger a vertical scroll, spoof the location bar, spoof an SSL indicator, modify the browser’s font, conduct clickjacking attacks, or have other unspecified impact.

A local attacker could gain escalated privileges, obtain sensitive information, or replace an arbitrary downloaded file.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

dev-libs/nss*< 3.11.5>= 3.11.5

Background

The Mozilla Network Security Service is a library implementing security features like SSL v2/v3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12, S/MIME and X.509 certificates.

Description

iDefense has reported two potential buffer overflow vulnerabilities found by researcher "regenrecht" in the code implementing the SSLv2 protocol.

Impact

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted SSL master key to a server using NSS for the SSLv2 protocol, or entice a user to connect to a malicious server with a client-side application using NSS like one of the Mozilla products. This could trigger the vulnerabilities and result in the possible execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the vulnerable application.

Workaround

Disable the SSLv2 protocol in the applications using NSS.

Resolution

All NSS users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync

Background

The Mozilla Network Security Service is a library implementing security features like SSL v.2/v.3, TLS, PKCS #5, PKCS #7, PKCS #11, PKCS #12, S/MIME and X.509 certificates.

Description

Daniel Bleichenbacher discovered that it might be possible to forge signatures signed by RSA keys with the exponent of 3. This affects a number of RSA signature implementations, including Mozilla's NSS.

Impact

Since several Certificate Authorities (CAs) are using an exponent of 3 it might be possible for an attacker to create a key with a false CA signature. This impacts any software using the NSS library, like the Mozilla products Firefox, Thunderbird and Seamonkey.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All NSS users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/nss-3.11.3"

Note: As usual after updating a library, you should run 'revdep-rebuild' (from the app-portage/gentoolkit package) to ensure that all applications linked to it are properly rebuilt.
