Fedora alert FEDORA-2008-6127 (chmsee)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-6127 2008-07-06 04:44:59 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : chmsee Product : Fedora 8 Version : 1.0.0 Release : 2.31.fc8 URL : http://chmsee.gro.clinux.org/ Summary : A Gtk+2 CHM document viewer Description : A gtk2 chm document viewer. It uses chmlib to extract files. It uses gecko to display pages. It supports displaying multilingual pages due to gecko. It features bookmarks and tabs. The tabs could be used to jump inside the chm file conveniently. Its UI is clean and handy, also is well localized. It is actively developed and maintained. The author of chmsee is Jungle Ji and several other great people. Hint * Unlike other chm viewers, chmsee extracts files from chm file, and then read and display them. The extracted files could be found in $HOME/.chmsee/bookshelf directory. You can clean those files at any time and there is a special config option for that. * The bookmark is related to each file so not all bookmarks will be loaded, only current file's. * Try to remove $HOME/.chmsee if you encounter any problem after an upgrade. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Updated firefox packages that fix several security issues are now available for Fedora 8. This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Fedora Security Response Team. Multiple flaws were found in the processing of malformed JavaScript content. A web page containing such malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2008-2801, CVE-2008-2802, CVE-2008-2803) Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2008-2798, CVE-2008-2799, CVE-2008-2811) Several flaws were found in the way malformed web content was displayed. A web page containing specially-crafted content could potentially trick a Firefox user into surrendering sensitive information. (CVE-2008-2800) Two local file disclosure flaws were found in Firefox. A web page containing malicious content could cause Firefox to reveal the contents of a local file to a remote attacker. (CVE-2008-2805, CVE-2008-2810) A flaw was found in the way a malformed .properties file was processed by Firefox. A malicious extension could read uninitialized memory, possibly leaking sensitive data to the extension. (CVE-2008-2807) A flaw was found in the way Firefox escaped a listing of local file names. If a user could be tricked into listing a local directory containing malicious file names, arbitrary JavaScript could be run with the permissions of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2008-2808) A flaw was found in the way Firefox displayed information about self-signed certificates. It was possible for a self-signed certificate to contain multiple alternate name entries, which were not all displayed to the user, allowing them to mistakenly extend trust to an unknown site. (CVE-2008-2809) Updated packages update Mozilla Firefox to upstream version 2.0.0.15 to address these flaws: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known- vulnerabilities.html#firefox2.0.0.15 This update also contains blam, chmsee, devhelp, epiphany, epiphany-extensions, galeon, gnome-python2-extras, gnome-web- photo, gtkmozembedmm, kazehakase, liferea, Miro, openvrml, ruby-gnome2 and yelp packages rebuilt against new Firefox / Gecko libraries. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Jul 2 2008 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> - 1.0.0-2.31 - Rebuild against newer gecko * Wed Apr 16 2008 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> - 1.0.0-2.30 - Rebuild against newer gecko * Tue Mar 25 2008 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> - 1.0.0-1.30 - Rebuild against newer gecko * Tue Mar 4 2008 bbbush <bbbush.yuan@gmail.com> - 1.0.0-1.29 - re-add firefox_version * Fri Feb 8 2008 Christopher Aillon <caillon@redhat.com> - 1.0.0-1.28 - Rebuild against newer gecko -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #452602 - CVE-2008-2803 Firefox javascript arbitrary code execution https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452602 [ 2 ] Bug #452599 - CVE-2008-2800 Firefox XSS attacks https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452599 [ 3 ] Bug #452600 - CVE-2008-2802 Firefox arbitrary JavaScript code execution https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452600 [ 4 ] Bug #452605 - CVE-2008-2801 Firefox arbitrary signed JAR code execution https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452605 [ 5 ] Bug #452604 - CVE-2008-2805 Firefox arbitrary file disclosure https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452604 [ 6 ] Bug #452597 - CVE-2008-2798 Firefox malformed web content flaws https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452597 [ 7 ] Bug #452598 - CVE-2008-2799 Firefox javascript arbitrary code execution https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452598 [ 8 ] Bug #452710 - CVE-2008-2808 Firefox file location escaping flaw https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452710 [ 9 ] Bug #452709 - CVE-2008-2807 Firefox .properties memory leak https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452709 [ 10 ] Bug #453007 - CVE-2008-2811 Firefox block reflow flaw https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453007 [ 11 ] Bug #452712 - CVE-2008-2810 Firefox arbitrary file disclosure https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452712 [ 12 ] Bug #452711 - CVE-2008-2809 Firefox self signed certificate flaw https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452711 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
