Microsoft Updates for Multiple Vulnerabilities

   Original release date: December 12, 2006
   Last revised: --
   Source: US-CERT


Systems Affected

     * Microsoft Windows
     * Microsoft Visual Studio
     * Microsoft Outlook Express
     * Microsoft Media Player
     * Microsoft Internet Explorer
     * Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac
     * Microsoft Office v. X for Mac


Overview

   Microsoft has released updates that address critical vulnerabilities
   in Microsoft Windows, Visual Studio, Microsoft Outlook Express,
   Microsoft Media Player, and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Exploitation
   of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote, unauthenticated
   attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service on a
   vulnerable system.


I. Description

   Microsoft has released updates to address vulnerabilities in Microsoft
   Windows, Visual Studio, Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Media
   Player, and Microsoft Internet Explorer as part of the Microsoft
   Security Bulletin Summary for December 2006. The most severe
   vulnerabilities could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to
   execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service on a vulnerable
   system.

   Note that in addition to the regular monthly security bulletins,
   Microsoft has also published updates for the Apple Mac versions of
   Microsoft Office. See the references section of this document for more
   details.

   Further information is available in the Vulnerability Notes Database.


II. Impact

   A remote, unauthenticated attacker could execute arbitrary code on a
   vulnerable system. An attacker may also be able to cause a denial of
   service.


III. Solution

Apply updates from Microsoft

   Microsoft has provided updates for these vulnerabilities in the
   December 2006 Security Bulletins. The Security Bulletins describe any
   known issues related to the updates. Note any known issues described
   in the Bulletins and test for any potentially adverse affects in your
   environment. System administrators may wish to consider using an
   automated patch distribution system such as Windows Server Update
   Services (WSUS).

Mozilla Addresses Multiple Vulnerabilities

   Original release date: December 20, 2006
   Last revised: --
   Source: US-CERT


Systems Affected

     * Mozilla Firefox
     * Mozilla Thunderbird
     * Mozilla SeaMonkey
     * Netscape Browser

   Other products based on Mozilla components may also be affected.


Overview

   The  Mozilla  web  browser  and derived  products  contain  several
   vulnerabilities,  the most  severe of  which could  allow  a remote
   attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected system.


I. Description

   Mozilla  has released  new  versions of  Firefox, Thunderbird,  and
   SeaMonkey to address several vulnerabilities. Further details about
   these   vulnerabilities  are   available  from   Mozilla   and  the
   Vulnerability  Notes  Database.  An  attacker could  exploit  these
   vulnerabilities by  convincing a  user to view  a specially-crafted
   HTML document, such as a web page or HTML email message.


II. Impact

   While the impacts of  the individual vulnerabilities vary, the most
   severe could  allow a  remote, unauthenticated attacker  to execute
   arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. An attacker may also be able
   to cause a denial of service.


III. Solution

Upgrade

   These  vulnerabilities are  addressed in  Mozilla  Firefox 1.5.0.9,
   Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1, Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.9, and SeaMonkey
   1.0.7. Mozilla  Firefox, Thunderbird,  and  SeaMonkey automatically
   check for updates by default.

   Support   for  Firefox   1.5   is  scheduled   to   end  in   April
   2007. According to Mozilla:

     Firefox 1.5.0.x  will be  maintained with security  and stability
     updates until  April 24, 2007. All users  are strongly encouraged
     to upgrade to Firefox 2.

Disable JavaScript and Java

   These vulnerabilities can be  mitigated by disabling JavaScript and
   Java. For  more information  about configuring Firefox,  please see
   the "Securing Your Web Browser" document. Netscape users should see
   the  "Site Controls"  document for  details.   Thunderbird disables
   JavaScript and Java by default.
