Description: Several vulnerabilities were reported in Mozilla Firefox. A remote user can cause arbitrary code to be executed on the target user's system.
A remote user can create a specially crafted JavaScript that, when loaded by the target user, will run with the wrong principal and
execute arbitrary code on the target system [CVE-2008-1235]. The code will run with the privileges of the target user.
JavaScript
from page content can also be executed with elevated privileges [CVE-2008-1233].
Cross-site scripting attacks by exploiting event
handlers are also possible [CVE-2008-1234].
Some of these bugs are variants of previously reported XPCNativeWrapper bugs (reported
by the vendor in MFSA 2007-25 and MFSA2007-35).
moz_bug_r_a4, Boris Zbarsky, and Johnny Stenback reported these vulnerabilities.
