CVE-2006-3811

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Multiple vulnerabilities in Mozilla Firefox before 1.5.0.5, Thunderbird before 1.5.0.5, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via JavaScript leading to memory corruption. The vulnerabilities include buffer overflows in the string class, issues with table row and column groups, stale references to removed nodes, and running the crypto.generateCRMFRequest callback on a deleted context.

Risk Assessment

An organization using vulnerable versions of the browser or email client is exposed to remote attacks leading to crashes or system compromise, which may result in data leakage or further compromise.

Recommendation

Update Mozilla Firefox to version 1.5.0.5 or later, Thunderbird to 1.5.0.5 or later, and SeaMonkey to 1.0.3 or later. If updating is not possible, limit use of the vulnerable applications and consider additional protective measures.
