-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ______________________________________________________________________________ SCO Security Advisory Subject: OpenServer 5.0.7 : Mozilla Multiple issues Advisory number: SCOSA-2004.8 Issue date: 2004 July 20 Cross reference: sr889065 fz528708 erg712531 CAN-2003-0594 ______________________________________________________________________________ 1. Problem Description Mozilla upgrade to version 1.6. fixes several security isuses. Mozilla Browser Scope Cross-Domain Function or Variable Disclosure Jesse Ruderman has reported a vulnerability in Mozilla where a malicious site may detect whether functions or variables are defined in another browser window. The issue is reported to exist due to a lack of sufficient access controls enforced on eval() calls. An attacker may exploit this issue to potentially enumerate browsing habits of an unsuspecting user. Mozilla Browser Proxy Server Authentication Credential Disclosure Darin Fisher has reported an information disclosure bug in Mozilla. When the user attempts to connect to a malicious server subsequent to successfully authenticating to the trusted server and if the malicious proxy with a same realm as the trusted server sends the user a "407 Proxy authentication required" message, Mozilla will send the cached authentication credentials from the previous exchange with the trusted proxy to the malicious server. This is carried out regardless of the different domain name or IP address of the malicious server. Mozilla Custom Getter/Setter Objects Same Origin Policy Violation Jesse Ruderman has reported a same origin policy violation vulnerability in Mozilla. It has been reported that custom getter/setter objects do not possess a check for the Same Origin Policy. This may allow the object to be invoked to gain access to properties of another domain in a frame or iframe. Mozilla URI Sub-Directory Arbitrary Cookie Access Vulnerability Stephen P. Morse discovered a problem in the behavior of the cookie handling in Mozilla. If similar path attributes exist in two separate cookies, it may be possible for a site to gain unauthorized access to cookies issued by another site in the same domain. The correct behavior is to restrict this type of access based both on domain and exact path attribute information. Mozilla Browser Cookie Path Restriction Bypass Vulnerability Daniel Veditz has reported a vulnerability in Mozilla where a malicious site may read cookies from unauthorized paths due to a lack of sufficient sanitization performed on cookie paths. A malicious cookie path containing certain escape sequence will reportedly bypass cookie path access controls. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0594 to this issue. Mozilla Browser Script.prototype.freeze/thaw Arbitrary Code Execution Brendan Eich has reported a vulnerability in Mozilla that may permit remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. The issue is in the JavaScript Script.prototype.freeze/thaw functionality. An attacker with knowledge of JavaScript bytecode and JavaScript engine internals, as well as the native architecture of a client system may theoretically cause arbitrary code to be executed. 2.
