1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion
The Mozilla Firefox browser is updated to version 3.0.7 fixing various
security and stability issues.
Updates are provided for openSUSE 11.0 and 11.1 currently, backports
for other Mozilla Firefox browsers and Mozilla Suite programs will
follow.
MFSA 2009-07 / CVE-2009-0771 / CVE-2009-0772 / CVE-2009-0773 /
CVE-2009-0774: Mozilla developers identified and fixed several
stability bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other
Mozilla-based products. Some of these crashes showed evidence of memory
corruption under certain circumstances and we presume that with enough
effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code.
MFSA 2009-08 / CVE-2009-0775: An anonymous researcher, via
TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative program, reported a vulnerability in
Mozilla's garbage collection process. The vulnerability was caused by
improper memory management of a set of cloned XUL DOM elements which
were linked as a parent and child. After reloading the browser on a
page with such linked elements, the browser would crash when attempting
to access an object which was already destroyed. An attacker could
use this crash to run arbitrary code on the victim's computer.
MFSA 2009-09 / CVE-2009-0776: Mozilla security researcher Georgi
Guninski reported that a website could use nsIRDFService and a
cross-domain redirect to steal arbitrary XML data from another domain,
a violation of the same-origin policy. This vulnerability could be used
by a malicious website to steal private data from users authenticated
to the redirected website.
MFSA 2009-10 / CVE-2009-0040: libpng maintainer Glenn Randers-Pehrson
reported several memory safety hazards in PNG libraries used by
Mozilla. These vulnerabilities could be used by a malicious website
to crash a victim's browser and potentially execute arbitrary code
on their computer. libpng was upgraded to a version which contained
fixes for these flaws.
MFSA 2009-11 / CVE-2009-0777: Mozilla contributor Masahiro Yamada
reported that certain invisible control characters were being decoded
when displayed in the location bar, resulting in fewer visible
characters than were present in the actual location. An attacker
could use this vulnerability to spoof the location bar and display
a misleading URL for their malicious web page.
2) Solution or Work-Around
There is no known workaround, please install the update packages.
3) Special Instructions and Notes
Please close and restart all running instances of Firefox after the update.
4) Package Location and Checksums
The preferred method for installing security updates is to use the YaST
Online Update (YOU) tool. YOU detects which updates are required and
automatically performs the necessary steps to verify and install them.
Alternatively, download the update packages for your distribution manually
and verify their integrity by the methods listed in Section 6 of this
announcement. Then install the packages using the command
rpm -Fhv
to apply the update, replacing with the filename of the
downloaded RPM package.

6) Authenticity Verification and Additional Information
- Announcement authenticity verification:
SUSE security announcements are published via mailing lists and on Web
sites. The authenticity and integrity of a SUSE security announcement is
guaranteed by a cryptographic signature in each announcement. All SUSE
security announcements are published with a valid signature.
To verify the signature of the announcement, save it as text into a file
and run the command
gpg --verify
replacing with the name of the file where you saved the
announcement. The output for a valid signature looks like:
gpg: Signature made using RSA key ID 3D25D3D9
gpg: Good signature from "SuSE Security Team "
where is replaced by the date the document was signed.
If the security team's key is not contained in your key ring, you can
import it from the first installation CD. To import the key, use the
command
gpg --import gpg-pubkey-3d25d3d9-36e12d04.asc
- Package authenticity verification:
SUSE update packages are available on many mirror FTP servers all over the
world. While this service is considered valuable and important to the free
and open source software community, the authenticity and the integrity of
a package needs to be verified to ensure that it has not been tampered
with.
The internal rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the
authenticity of an RPM package. Use the command
rpm -v --checksig
to verify the signature of the package, replacing with the
filename of the RPM package downloaded. The package is unmodified if it
contains a valid signature from build@suse.de with the key ID 9C800ACA.
This key is automatically imported into the RPM database (on
RPMv4-based distributions) and the gpg key ring of 'root' during
installation. You can also find it on the first installation CD and at
the end of this announcement.
- SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may
subscribe:
opensuse-security@opensuse.org
- General Linux and SUSE security discussion.
All SUSE security announcements are sent to this list.
To subscribe, send an e-mail to
