Description David Walser 2014-09-03 01:05:32 CEST
Mozilla has issued advisories today:
https://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2014/mfsa2014-67.html
https://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2014/mfsa2014-72.html

Firefox and Thunderbird 24.8 have been released to fix memory safety (CVE-2014-1562) and use-after-free (CVE-2014-1567) bugs.

Updates to rootcerts 20140805, nspr 4.10.7, nss 3.17, firefox{,-l10n} 24.8.0 and thunderbird{,-l10n} 24.8.0 have been checked into SVN for Mageia 3 and Mageia 4.

Waiting on RedHat's update for the advisory and the build system is too busy to push anything right now so I'll build the update later.

Comment 2 David Walser 2014-09-03 05:17:15 CEST
Updated packages uploaded for Mageia 3 and Mageia 4.

Details in Comment 0 (formal advisory still pending).

Package list in Comment 1.

Assignee: bugsquad => qa-bugs

Comment 3 Bill Wilkinson 2014-09-03 16:02:09 CEST
No exploits listed on Securityfocus. Testing mga3-64.

Thunderbird: send/receive/move/delete work on IMAP/SMTP

Firefox: General browsing, sunspider javascript, flash (Youtube) all OK. I'm having an issue with getting java to run, but it's probably a setting on my end, as this is a fresh install.  If I don't have any problems with mga4-64, I'll presume that's good to go.

CC: (none) => wrw105

Comment 4 David Walser 2014-09-03 16:19:22 CEST
Everything's working fine here Mageia 4 i586 (Java and Flash included) for Firefox and Thunderbird.
Comment 5 claire robinson 2014-09-03 16:39:51 CEST
You're probably missing icedtea-web Bill
Comment 6 Bill Wilkinson 2014-09-03 17:00:36 CEST
Claire: already checked that, it's there and enabled.  Probably some obscure setting in the bowels of about:config that I'm missing.

Mga4-64 tested as above, all OK including java.

Whiteboard: MGA3TOO => MGA3TOO mga4-64-ok mga3-64-ok

Comment 7 Bill Wilkinson 2014-09-03 17:19:50 CEST
mga3-32: all OK.

Comment 8 claire robinson 2014-09-03 17:35:24 CEST
mga3 64 is OK here

Java tested at

http://javatester.org/version.html

I had a to refresh a few times at the 2nd link but it showed properly then.

Thanks Bill and Claire.  Still no update from RedHat.  I'm guessing their advisory will read as follows.  We can use this and validate it.

Advisory:
========================

Updated firefox and thunderbird packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Several flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content. A web
page containing malicious content could cause Firefox or Thunderbird to crash
or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running it (CVE-2014-1562, CVE-2014-1567).
