Mozilla : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2005

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via (1) the "Send page" functionality, (2) certain responses from a malicious POP3 server, or (3) a link containing a non-ASCII hostname.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the writeGroup function in nsVCardObj.cpp for Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed VCard attachments that are not properly handled when previewing a message.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Bugzilla before 2.18, including 2.16.x before 2.16.11, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML and web script via forced error messages, as demonstrated using the action parameter.

Firefox before 1.0 and Mozilla before 1.7.5 allow remote attackers to load local files via links "with a custom getter and toString method" that are middle-clicked by the user to be opened in a new tab.

Firefox 0.9, Thunderbird 0.6 and other versions before 0.9, and Mozilla 1.7 before 1.7.5 save temporary files with world-readable permissions, which allows local users to read certain web content or attachments that belong to other users, e.g. content that is managed by helper applications such as PDF.

Firefox before 1.0 and Mozilla before 1.7.5 display the SSL lock icon when an insecure page loads a binary file from a trusted site, which could facilitate phishing attacks.

Firefox before 1.0 and Mozilla before 1.7.5 display the secure site lock icon when a view-source: URL references a secure SSL site while an insecure page is being loaded, which could facilitate phishing attacks.

Firefox before 1.0 does not properly distinguish between user-generated and synthetic click events, which allows remote attackers to use Javascript to bypass the file download prompt when the user uses the Alt-click feature.

Firefox before 1.0 and Mozilla before 1.7.5 allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive data from the clipboard via Javascript that generates a middle-click event on systems for which a middle-click performs a paste operation.

Firefox before 1.0 and Mozilla before 1.7.5, when configured to use a proxy, respond to 407 proxy auth requests from arbitrary servers, which allows remote attackers to steal NTLM or SPNEGO credentials.

Thunderbird before 0.9, when running on Windows systems, uses the default handler when processing javascript: links, which invokes Internet Explorer and may expose the Thunderbird user to vulnerabilities in the version of Internet Explorer that is installed on the user's system. NOTE: since the invocation between multiple products is a common practice, and the vulnerabilities inherent in multi-product interactions are not easily enumerable, this issue might be REJECTED in the future.

Thunderbird 0.6 through 0.9 and Mozilla 1.7 through 1.7.3 does not obey the network.cookie.disableCookieForMailNews preference, which could allow remote attackers to bypass the user's intended privacy and security policy by using cookies in e-mail messages.

Firefox before 1.0 allows the user to store a (1) javascript: or (2) data: URLs as a Livefeed bookmark, then executes it in the security context of the currently loaded page when the user later accesses the bookmark, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Mozilla 1.6 and possibly other versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a XBM (X BitMap) file with a large (1) height or (2) width value.

Firefox 1.0 does not prevent the user from dragging an executable file to the desktop when it has an image/gif content type but has a dangerous extension such as .bat or .exe, which allows remote attackers to bypass the intended restriction and execute arbitrary commands via malformed GIF files that can still be parsed by the Windows batch file parser, aka "firedragging."

Firefox 1.0 does not invoke the Javascript Security Manager when a user drags a javascript: or data: URL to a tab, which allows remote attackers to bypass the security model, aka "firetabbing."

Firefox 1.0 allows remote attackers to modify Boolean configuration parameters for the about:config site by using a plugin such as Flash, and the -moz-opacity filter, to display the about:config site then cause the user to double-click at a certain screen position, aka "Fireflashing."

The International Domain Name (IDN) support in Firefox 1.0, Camino .8.5, and Mozilla before 1.7.6 allows remote attackers to spoof domain names using punycode encoded domain names that are decoded in URLs and SSL certificates in a way that uses homograph characters from other character sets, which facilitates phishing attacks.

The International Domain Name (IDN) support in Epiphany allows remote attackers to spoof domain names using punycode encoded domain names that are decoded in URLs and SSL certificates in a way that uses homograph characters from other character sets, which facilitates phishing attacks.

String handling functions in Mozilla 1.7.3, Firefox 1.0, and Thunderbird before 1.0.2, such as the nsTSubstring_CharT::Replace function, do not properly check the return values of other functions that resize the string, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code by forcing an out-of-memory state that causes a reallocation to fail and return a pointer to a fixed address, which leads to heap corruption.

Heap-based buffer overflow in GIF2.cpp in Firefox before 1.0.2, Mozilla before to 1.7.6, and Thunderbird before 1.0.2, and possibly other applications that use the same library, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a GIF image with a crafted Netscape extension 2 block and buffer size.

FireFox 1.0.1 and Mozilla before 1.7.6 do not sufficiently address all attack vectors for loading chrome files and hijacking drag and drop events, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary XUL code by tricking a user into dragging a scrollbar, a variant of CVE-2005-0527, aka "Firescrolling 2."

Firefox before 1.0.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into saving a page as a Firefox sidebar panel, then using the sidebar panel to inject Javascript into a privileged page.

Firefox 1.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via plugins that load "privileged content" into frames, as demonstrated using certain XUL events when a user drags a scrollbar two times, aka "Firescrolling."

Firefox before 1.0.1 and Mozilla Suite before 1.7.6 use a predictable filename for the plugin temporary directory, which allows local users to delete arbitrary files of other users via a symlink attack on the plugtmp directory.
