CVE: CVE-2009-0689

Fixed in:
- - SeaMonkey 2.0
NOTE: Prior versions may also be affected.

- --- 0.Description ---
The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to develop the SeaMonkey
all-in-one internet application suite (see below). Such a software suite
was previously made popular by Netscape and Mozilla, and the SeaMonkey
project continues to develop and deliver high-quality updates to this
concept. Containing an Internet browser, email & newsgroup client with
an included web feed reader, HTML editor, IRC chat and web development
tools, SeaMonkey is sure to appeal to advanced users, web developers and
corporate users.
- --- 1. SeaMonkey 1.1.18 Remote Array Overrun (Arbitrary code
execution) ---
The main problem exist in dtoa implementation. SeaMonkey has the same
dtoa as a KDE, Opera and all BSD systems. This issue has been fixed in
Firefox 3.5.4 and fix
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&file=jsdtoa.c&branch=&root=/cvsroot&subdir=mozilla/js/src&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&rev1=3.41&rev2=3.42
has been used to patch SeaMonkey 2.0.
This flaw has been detected in may 2009 and signed SREASONRES:20090625.
http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/63
but fix for SREASONRES:20090625, used by openbsd was not good.
More information about fix for openbsd and similars SREASONRES:20091030,
http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/69
We can create any number of float, which will overwrite the memory. In
Kmax has defined 15. Functions in dtoa, don't checks Kmax limit, and it
is possible to call 16<= elements of freelist array.
- --- 2. Proof of Concept (PoC) ---
- -----------------------
<script>
var a=0.<?php echo str_repeat("9",299999); ?>;
</script>
- -----------------------
If we use SeaMonkey to see this PoC, SeaMonkey will crash. For example
- -----------------------
<script>
var a=0.<?php echo str_repeat("1",296450); ?>;
</script>
- -----------------------

- --- 3. SecurityReason Note ---
Officialy SREASONRES:20090625 has been detected in:
- - OpenBSD
- - NetBSD
- - FreeBSD
- - MacOSX
- - Google Chrome
- - Mozilla Firefox
- - Mozilla Seamonkey
- - KDE (example: konqueror)
- - Opera
- - K-Meleon
This list is not yet closed. US-CERT declared that will inform all
vendors about this issue, however, they did not do it. Even greater
confusion caused new CVE number "CVE-2009-1563". Secunia has informed
that this vulnerability was only detected in Mozilla Firefox, but nobody
was aware that the problem affects other products like ( KDE, Chrome )
and it is based on "CVE-2009-0689". After some time Mozilla Foundation
Security Advisory
("http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2009/mfsa2009-59.html")
was updated with note :
"The underlying flaw in the dtoa routines used by Mozilla appears to be
essentially the same as that reported against the libc gdtoa routine by
Maksymilian Arciemowicz ( CVE-2009-0689)".
This fact ( new CVE number for Firefox Vulnerability )and PoC in
javascript (from Secunia), forced us to official notification all other
vendors. We publish all the individual advisories, to formally show all
vulnerable software and to avoid wrong CVE number. We do not see any
other way to fix this issue in all products.
Please note:
Patch used in Firefox 3.5.4 does not fully solve the problem. Dtoa
algorithm is not optimal and allows remote Denial of Service in Firefox
3.5.5 giving long float number.
