Descriptions

Directory traversal vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.17 and 3.x before 3.0.2, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.17, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.12 on Linux allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) and URL-encoded / (slash) characters in a resource: URI.

Vulnerabilidad de salto de directorio en Firefox de Mozilla anterior a 2.0.0.17 y 3.x anterior a 3.0.2, Thunderbird anterior a 2.0.0.17 y SeaMonkey anterior a 1.1.12 en Linux permite a atacantes remotos leer archivos de su elección mediante .. (punto punto) y caracteres codificados URL / (barra) en una fuente URI.

USN-645-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox and xulrunner. The upstream patches introduced a regression in the saved password handling. While password data was not lost, if a user had saved any passwords with non-ASCII characters, Firefox could not access the password database. This update fixes the problem. A very large amount of vulnerabilities have been addressed in the latest Firefox release from Ubuntu.
