   An update that contains security fixes can now be
   installed. It includes two new package versions.

Description:


   MozillaFirefox was updated to the 10.0.4 ESR release to fix
   various bugs  and security issues.

   *

   Mozilla developers identified and fixed several
   memory safety bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox
   and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these bugs 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
   2012-20)

   In general these flaws cannot be exploited through
   email in the Thunderbird and SeaMonkey products because
   scripting is disabled, but are potentially a risk in
   browser or browser-like contexts in those products.

   o

   Christian Holler a reported memory safety and
   security problem affecting Firefox 11. (CVE-2012-0468)

   o

   Bob Clary, Christian Holler, Brian Hackett,
   Bobby Holley, Gary Kwong, Hilary Hall, Honza Bambas, Jesse
   Ruderman, Julian Seward, and Olli Pettay reported memory
   safety problems and crashes that affect Firefox ESR and
   Firefox 11. (CVE-2012-0467)

   *

   Using the Address Sanitizer tool, security researcher
   Aki Helin from OUSPG found that IDBKeyRange of indexedDB
   remains in the XPConnect hashtable instead of being
   unlinked before being destroyed. When it is destroyed, this
   causes a use-after-free, which is potentially exploitable.
   (MFSA 2012-22 / CVE-2012-0469)

   *

   Using the Address Sanitizer tool, security researcher
   Atte Kettunen from OUSPG found a heap corruption in
   gfxImageSurface which allows for invalid frees and possible
   remote code execution. This happens due to float error,
   resulting from graphics values being passed through
   different number systems. (MFSA 2012-23 / CVE-2012-0470)

   *

   Anne van Kesteren of Opera Software found a
   multi-octet encoding issue where certain octets will
   destroy the following octets in the processing of some
   multibyte character sets. This can leave users vulnerable
   to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks on maliciously
   crafted web pages. (MFSA 2012-24 / CVE-2012-0471)

   *

   Security research firm iDefense reported that
   researcher wushi of team509 discovered a memory corruption
   on Windows Vista and Windows 7 systems with hardware
   acceleration disabled or using incompatible video drivers.
   This is created by using cairo-dwrite to attempt to render
   fonts on an unsupported code path. This corruption causes a
   potentially exploitable crash on affected systems. (MFSA
   2012-25 / CVE-2012-0472)

   *

   Mozilla community member Matias Juntunen discovered
   an error in WebGLBuffer where FindMaxElementInSubArray
   receives wrong template arguments from
   FindMaxUshortElement. This bug causes maximum index to be
   computed incorrectly within WebGL.drawElements, allowing
   the reading of illegal video memory. (MFSA 2012-26 /
   CVE-2012-0473)

   *

   Security researchers Jordi Chancel and Eddy Bordi
   reported that they could short-circuit page loads to show
   the address of a different site than what is loaded in the
   window in the addressbar. Security researcher Chris McGowen
   independently reported the same flaw, and further
   demonstrated that this could lead to loading scripts from
   the attacker's site, leaving users vulnerable to cross-site
   scripting (XSS) attacks. (MFSA 2012-27 / CVE-2012-0474)

   *

   Security researcher Simone Fabiano reported that if a
   cross-site XHR or WebSocket is opened on a web server on a
   non-standard port for web traffic while using an IPv6
   address, the browser will send an ambiguous origin headers
   if the IPv6 address contains at least 2 consecutive 16-bit
   fields of zeroes. If there is an origin access control list
   that uses IPv6 literals, this issue could be used to bypass
   these access controls on the server. (MFSA 2012-28 /
   CVE-2012-0475)

   *

   Security researcher Masato Kinugawa found that during
   the decoding of ISO-2022-KR and ISO-2022-CN character sets,
   characters near 1024 bytes are treated incorrectly, either
   doubling or deleting bytes. On certain pages it might be
   possible for an attacker to pad the output of the page such
   that these errors fall in the right place to affect the
   structure of the page, allowing for cross-site script (XSS)
   injection. (MFSA 2012-29 / CVE-2012-0477)

   *

   Mozilla community member Ms2ger found an image
   rendering issue with WebGL when texImage2D uses use
   JSVAL_TO_OBJECT on arbitrary objects. This can lead to a
   crash on a maliciously crafted web page. While there is no
   evidence that this is directly exploitable, there is a
   possibility of remote code execution. (MFSA 2012-30 /
   CVE-2012-0478)

   *

   Mateusz Jurczyk of the Google Security Team
   discovered an off-by-one error in the OpenType Sanitizer
   using the Address Sanitizer tool. This can lead to an
   out-of-bounds read and execution of an uninitialized
   function pointer during parsing and possible remote code
   execution. (MFSA 2012-31 / CVE-2011-3062)

   *

   Security researcher Daniel Divricean reported that a
   defect in the error handling of javascript errors can leak
   the file names and location of javascript files on a
   server, leading to inadvertent information disclosure and a
   vector for further attacks. (MFSA 2012-32 / CVE-2011-1187)

   *

   Security researcher Jeroen van der Gun reported that
   if RSS or Atom XML invalid content is loaded over HTTPS,
   the addressbar updates to display the new location of the
   loaded resource, including SSL indicators, while the main
   window still displays the previously loaded content. This
   allows for phishing attacks where a malicious page can
   spoof the identify of another seemingly secure site. (MFSA
   2012-33 / CVE-2012-0479)
