    Package : iceweasel
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem type : remote

    CVE ID : CVE-2012-4201 CVE-2012-4207 CVE-2012-4216 CVE-2012-5829
    CVE-2012-5842
    Debian Bug :

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Iceweasel, the Debian web browser based on Mozilla Firefox:

    CVE-2012-5829

    Heap-based buffer overflow in the nsWindow::OnExposeEvent function could
    allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

    CVE-2012-5842

    Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine could allow remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application
    crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.

    CVE-2012-4207

    The HZ-GB-2312 character-set implementation does not properly handle a ~
    (tilde) character in proximity to a chunk delimiter, which allows remote
    attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a crafted
    document.

    CVE-2012-4201

    The evalInSandbox implementation uses an incorrect context during the
    handling of JavaScript code that sets the location.href property, which
    allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or read
    arbitrary files by leveraging a sandboxed add-on.

    CVE-2012-4216

    Use-after-free vulnerability in the gfxFont::GetFontEntry function allows
    remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap
    memory corruption) via unspecified vectors.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 3.5.16-20.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 10.0.11esr-1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
    version 10.0.11esr-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your iceweasel packages.
