[USN-895-1] Firefox 3.0 and Xulrunner 1.9 vulnerabilities

Several flaws were discovered in the browser engine of Firefox. If a user
were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could
cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2010-0159)

Orlando Barrera II discovered a flaw in the Web Workers implementation of
Firefox. If a user were tricked into posting to a malicious website, an
attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the user invoking the program. (CVE-2010-0160)

Alin Rad Pop discovered that Firefox's HTML parser would incorrectly free

 to theft. A malicious web page could synthesize events such as mouse
 focus and key presses on behalf of the victim and trick the browser
 into auto-filling the form fields with history entries and then
 reading the entries (CVE-2009-3370).
 
 Security researcher Orlando Berrera of Sec Theory reported that
 recursive creation of JavaScript web-workers can be used to create a
 set of objects whose memory could be freed prior to their use. These
 conditions often result in a crash which could potentially be
 used by an attacker to run arbitrary code on a victim's computer
 (CVE-2009-3371).

[SECURITY] [DSA 1999-1] New xulrunner packages fix several vulnerabilities

    Wargers and Paul Nickerson reported crashes in layout engine,
    which might allow the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2010-0160

    Orlando Barrera II discovered that incorrect memory handling in the
    implementation of the web worker API could lead to the execution
    of arbitrary code.

[USN-853-1] Firefox and Xulrunner vulnerabilities

Paul Stone discovered a flaw in the Firefox form history. If a user were
tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could access this
data to steal confidential information. (CVE-2009-3370)

Orlando Berrera discovered that Firefox did not properly free memory when using
web-workers. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote
attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the user invoking the program. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 9.10. (CVE-2009-3371)


[ MDVSA-2010:042 ] firefox

 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 (CVE-2010-0159).
 
 Security researcher Orlando Barrera II reported via TippingPoint's Zero
 Day Initiative that Mozilla's implementation of Web Workers contained
 an error in its handling of array data types when processing posted
 messages. This error could be used by an attacker to corrupt heap
 memory and crash the browser, potentially running arbitrary code on
 a victim's computer (CVE-2010-0160).
