CVE-2011-3664

TITLE

Mac OS X Multiple running on Mozilla Service disruption in products (DoS) Vulnerabilities

DESCRIPTION

Mozilla Firefox before 9.0, Thunderbird before 9.0, and SeaMonkey before 2.6 on Mac OS X do not properly handle certain DOM frame deletions by plugins, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect pointer dereference and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted web site. Mozilla Firefox is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability because of a NULL-pointer dereference. Successful exploits may allow remote attackers to cause denial-of-service conditions. Given the nature of this issue attackers may also be able to run arbitrary code, but this has not been confirmed. This issue is fixed in: Firefox 9.0 Thunderbird 9.0 SeaMonkey 2.6. Firefox is a very popular open source web browser. Thunderbird is an email client that supports IMAP, POP email protocols, and HTML email formats. SeaMonkey is an open source web browser, mail and newsgroup client, IRC session client, and HTML editor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secunia is hiring!

No further information is currently available. 2) An error exists within the YARR regular expression library when parsing javascript content. 3) An error within the SVG implementation when SVG elements are removed during a DOMAttrModified event can be exploited to cause an out-of-bounds memory access. 4) The application does not properly handle SVG animation accessKey events when JavaScript is disabled. This can lead to the user's key strokes being leaked. 5) An error within the plugin handler when deleting DOM frame can be exploited to dereference memory. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects Mac OS X. 6) An error exists within the handling of OGG <video> elements. Successful exploitation of vulnerabilities #1 - #3 and #5 may allow execution of arbitrary code. SOLUTION: Upgrade to version 9.0.
