Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2010-051 - Security researcher Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research reported that the HTML parser incorrectly freed used memory when insufficient space was available to process remaining input. Under such circumstances, memory occupied by in-use objects was freed and could later be filled with attacker-controlled text. These conditions could result in the execution or arbitrary code if methods on the freed objects were subsequently called. Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

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. Security researcher Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research reported that the HTML parser incorrectly freed used memory when insufficient space was available to process remaining input. Security researcher Hidetake Jo of Microsoft Vulnerability Research reported that the properties set on an object passed to showModalDialog were readable by the document contained in the dialog, even when the document was from a different domain. An anonymous security researcher, via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative, also independently reported this issue to Mozilla. Mozilla security researcher Georgi Guninski reported that when a SVG document which is served with Content-Type: application/octet-stream is embedded into another document via an <embed> tag with type=image/svg+xml, the Content-Type is ignored and the SVG document is processed normally.

e186bbcef4c76dd7c82263be160a64e36c680eae3464ff34fcd581db19a0af1eSecunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused by an error when handling out-of-memory conditions. This can be exploited to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted web page. Versions prior to 3.0.18 and 3.5.8 are susceptible.

Hidetake Jo discovered that the showModalDialog in Firefox did not always honor the same-origin policy. An attacker could exploit this to run untrusted JavaScript from other domains. Georgi Guninski discovered that the same-origin check in Firefox could be bypassed by utilizing a crafted SVG image. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, an attacker could exploit this to read data from other domains. Various other issues were also addressed.

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. 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. Alin Rad Pop discovered that Firefox's HTML parser would incorrectly free memory under certain circumstances. Various other issues were also discovered.
