    Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xulrunner, a

    browser. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

    CVE-2009-1392

    Several issues in the browser engine have been discovered, which can
    result in the execution of arbitrary code. (MFSA 2009-24)

    CVE-2009-1832

    It is possible to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving "double
    frame construction." (MFSA 2009-24)

    CVE-2009-1833

    Jesse Ruderman and Adam Hauner discovered a problem in the JavaScript
    engine, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
    (MFSA 2009-24)

    CVE-2009-1834

    Pavel Cvrcek discovered a potential issue leading to a spoofing attack
    on the location bar related to certain invalid unicode characters.
    (MFSA 2009-25)

    CVE-2009-1835

    Gregory Fleischer discovered that it is possible to read arbitrary
    cookies via a crafted HTML document. (MFSA 2009-26)

    CVE-2009-1836

    Shuo Chen, Ziqing Mao, Yi-Min Wang and Ming Zhang reported a potential man-in-the-middle attack, when using a proxy due to insufficient checks
    on a certain proxy response. (MFSA 2009-27)

    CVE-2009-1837

    Jakob Balle and Carsten Eiram reported a race condition in the NPObjWrapper_NewResolve function that can be used to execute arbitrary
    code. (MFSA 2009-28)

    CVE-2009-1838

    moz_bug_r_a4 discovered that it is possible to execute arbitrary
    JavaScript with chrome privileges due to an error in the
    garbage-collection implementation. (MFSA 2009-29)

    CVE-2009-1839

    Adam Barth and Collin Jackson reported a potential privilege escalation
    when loading a file::resource via the location bar. (MFSA 2009-30)

    CVE-2009-1840

    Wladimir Palant discovered that it is possible to bypass access
    restrictions due to a lack of content policy check, when loading a
    script file into a XUL document. (MFSA 2009-31)

    CVE-2009-1841

    moz_bug_r_a4 reported that it is possible for scripts from page content
    to run with elevated privileges and thus potentially executing arbitrary
    code with the object's chrome privileges. (MFSA 2009-32)



    For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.9.0.11-0lenny1.

    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 testing distribution (squeeze), these problems will be fixed
    soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.9.0.11-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your xulrunner packages.
