    Package : xulrunner
    Vulnerability : multiple
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2009-1169 CVE-2009-1044

    Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xulrunner, a
    runtime environment for XUL applications, such as the Iceweasel web
    browser. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies
    the following problems:

    CVE-2009-1169

    Security researcher Guido Landi discovered that a XSL stylesheet could
    be used to crash the browser during a XSL transformation. An attacker
    could potentially use this crash to run arbitrary code on a victim's
    computer.

    CVE-2009-1044

    Security researcher Nils reported via TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative
    that the XUL tree method _moveToEdgeShift was in some cases triggering
    garbage collection routines on objects which were still in use. In such
    cases, the browser would crash when attempting to access a previously
    destroyed object and this crash could be used by an attacker to run
    arbitrary code on a victim's computer.

    Note that after installing these updates, you will need to restart any
    packages using xulrunner, typically iceweasel or epiphany.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 1.9.0.7-0lenny2.

    As indicated in the Etch release notes, security support for the
    Mozilla products in the oldstable distribution needed to be stopped
    before the end of the regular Etch security maintenance life cycle.
    You are strongly encouraged to upgrade to stable or switch to a still
    supported browser.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.9.0.8-1

    We recommend that you upgrade your xulrunner package.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database
    apt-get upgrade

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
