Synopsis: Critical: seamonkey security update
Issue date: 2010-10-19
CVE Names: CVE-2010-3170 CVE-2010-3173 CVE-2010-3176
CVE-2010-3177 CVE-2010-3180 CVE-2010-3182
Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A
web page containing malicious content could cause SeaMonkey to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running SeaMonkey. (CVE-2010-3176, CVE-2010-3180)
A flaw was found in the way the Gopher parser in SeaMonkey converted
text into HTML. A malformed file name on a Gopher server could, when
accessed by a victim running SeaMonkey, allow arbitrary JavaScript to be
executed in the context of the Gopher domain. (CVE-2010-3177)
A flaw was found in the script that launches SeaMonkey. The
LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable was appending a "." character, which could
allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
a different user running SeaMonkey, if that user ran SeaMonkey from
within an attacker-controlled directory. (CVE-2010-3182)
It was found that the SSL DHE (Diffie-Hellman Ephemeral) mode
implementation for key exchanges in SeaMonkey accepted DHE keys that
were 256 bits in length. This update removes support for 256 bit DHE
keys, as such keys are easily broken using modern hardware. (CVE-2010-3173)
A flaw was found in the way SeaMonkey matched SSL certificates when the
certificates had a Common Name containing a wildcard and a partial IP
address. SeaMonkey incorrectly accepted connections to IP addresses that
fell within the SSL certificate's wildcard range as valid SSL
connections, possibly allowing an attacker to conduct a
man-in-the-middle attack. (CVE-2010-3170)
After installing the update, SeaMonkey must be restarted for the changes
to take effect.
