______________________________________________________________________________

1) Problem Description and Brief Discussion

   The Mozilla Firefox was updated to current stable versions on all
   affected Linux products.

   openSUSE 10.3,11.0 and 11.1: Firefox was updated to the current stable
   branch version 3.0.14. These updates were already released on
   September 21st.

   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 products were upgraded to Mozilla Firefox
   3.5.3, released on September 30th.

   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 Service Pack 2 and 3 were upgraded to
   Mozilla Firefox 3.5.3, released on October 20th.


   These updates fix various bugs and security issues:
   MFSA 2009-47 / CVE-2009-3069 / CVE-2009-3070 / CVE-2009-3071 /
   CVE-2009-3072 / CVE-2009-3073 / CVE-2009-30 / CVE-2009-3075: Mozilla
   developers and community members 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 2009-48 / CVE-2009-3076: Mozilla security researcher Jesse
   Ruderman reported that when security modules were added or removed via
   pkcs11.addmodule or pkcs11.deletemodule, the resulting dialog was not
   sufficiently informative. Without sufficient warning, an attacker could
   entice a victim to install a malicious PKCS11 module and affect the
   cryptographic integrity of the victim's browser. Security researcher
   Dan Kaminsky reported that this issue had not been fixed in Firefox 3.0
   and that under certain circumstances pkcs11 modules could be installed
   from a remote location. Firefox 3.5 releases are not affected.


   MFSA 2009-49 / CVE-2009-3077: An anonymous security researcher,
   via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative, reported that the columns
   of a XUL tree element could be manipulated in a particular way which
   would leave a pointer owned by the column pointing to freed memory. An
   attacker could potentially use this vulnerability to crash a victim's
   browser and run arbitrary code on the victim's computer.

   MFSA 2009-50 / CVE-2009-3078: Security researcher Juan Pablo Lopez
   Yacubian reported that the default Windows font used to render the
   location bar and other text fields was improperly displaying certain
   Unicode characters with tall line-height. In such cases the tall
   line-height would cause the rest of the text in the input field
   to be scrolled vertically out of view. An attacker could use this
   vulnerability to prevent a user from seeing the URL of a malicious
   site. Corrie Sloot also independently reported this issue to Mozilla.

   MFSA 2009-51 / CVE-2009-3079: Mozilla security researcher moz_bug_r_a4
   reported that the BrowserFeedWriter could be leveraged to run
   JavaScript code from web content with elevated privileges. Using
   this vulnerability, an attacker could construct an object containing
   malicious JavaScript and cause the FeedWriter to process the object,
   running the malicious code with chrome privileges. Thunderbird does
   not support the BrowserFeedWriter object and is not vulnerable in
   its default configuration. Thunderbird might be vulnerable if the
   user has installed any add-on which adds a similarly implemented
   feature and then enables JavaScript in mail messages. This is not
   the default setting and we strongly discourage users from running
   JavaScript in mail.


   Also released were SSL certificate handling fixes which required
   updates to the Mozilla NSS and NSPR libraries.

   The two security issues fixed there are:
   CVE-2009-2404 / MFSA 2009-43 : Heap-based buffer overflow in a
   regular-expression parser in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS)
   before 3.12.3, as used in Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Evolution,
   Pidgin, and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), allows remote SSL servers
   to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute
   arbitrary code via a long domain name in the subject's Common Name
   (CN) field of an X.509 certificate, related to the cert_TestHostName
   function.

   MFSA 2009-42 / CVE-2009-2408: IOActive security researcher Dan
   Kaminsky reported a mismatch in the treatment of domain names in
   SSL certificates between SSL clients and the Certificate Authorities
   (CA) which issue server certificates. In particular, if a malicious
   person requested a certificate for a host name with an invalid null
   character in it most CAs would issue the certificate if the requester
   owned the domain specified after the null, while most SSL clients
   (browsers) ignored that part of the name and used the unvalidated
   part in front of the null.  This made it possible for attackers to
   obtain certificates that would function for any site they wished
   to target.  These certificates could be used to intercept and
   potentially alter encrypted communication between the client and a
   server such as sensitive bank account transactions. This vulnerability
   was independently reported to us by researcher Moxie Marlinspike who
   also noted that since Firefox relies on SSL to protect the integrity of
   security updates this attack could be used to serve malicious updates.

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 Mozilla 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
                .

    opensuse-security-announce@opensuse.org
        -   SUSE's announce-only mailing list.
            Only SUSE's security announcements are sent to this list.
            To subscribe, send an e-mail to
                .
