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 terminate unexpectedly or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox or Thunderbird (CVE-2013-5609, CVE-2013-5616, CVE-2013-5618, CVE-2013-6671, CVE-2013-5613).

It was found that a subordinate Certificate Authority (CA) mis-issued an intermediate certificate, which could be used to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks. This update renders that particular intermediate certificate as untrusted (MFSA 2013-117).

The rootcerts and nss packages have been updated to fix the MFSA 2013-117 issue. The thunderbird-lightning package has been updated to a version that is compatible with the updated thunderbird.

Updated seamonkey packages fix multiple vulnerabilities

Updated iceape packages fix security issues:

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.2, Thunderbird before 24.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.23 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors. (CVE-2013-5609)

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the browser engine in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.23 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors. (CVE-2013-5610)

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.23 makes it easier for remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by leveraging a Same Origin Policy violation triggered by lack of a charset parameter in a Content-Type HTTP header. (CVE-2013-5612)

Mozilla Firefox before 26.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.23 do not properly consider the sandbox attribute of an IFRAME element during processing of a contained OBJECT element, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended sandbox restrictions via a crafted web site. (CVE-2013-5614)

Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsEventListenerManager::HandleEventSubType function in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.2, Thunderbird before 24.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.23 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via vectors related to mListeners event listeners. (CVE-2013-5616)

Use-after-free vulnerability in the nsNodeUtils::LastRelease function in the table-editing user interface in the editor component in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.2, Thunderbird before 24.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.23 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by triggering improper garbage collection. (CVE-2013-5618)

Multiple integer overflows in the binary-search implementation in SpiderMonkey in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.23 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code. (CVE-2013-5619)

The nsGfxScrollFrameInner::IsLTR function in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.2, Thunderbird before 24.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.23 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted use of JavaScript code for ordered list elements. (CVE-2013-6671)

Mozilla Firefox before 26.0 and SeaMonkey before 2.23 on Linux allow user-assisted remote attackers to read clipboard data by leveraging certain middle-click paste operations. (CVE-2013-6672)

Mozilla Firefox before 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.2, Thunderbird before 24.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.23 do not recognize a user's removal of trust from an EV X.509 certificate, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers in opportunistic circumstances via a valid certificate that is unacceptable to the user. (CVE-2013-6673)

Use-after-free vulnerability in the PresShell::DispatchSynthMouseMove function in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.2, Thunderbird before 24.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.23 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption) via vectors involving synthetic mouse movement, related to the RestyleManager::GetHoverGeneration function. (CVE-2013-5613)

The JavaScript implementation in Mozilla Firefox before 26.0, Firefox ESR 24.x before 24.2, Thunderbird before 24.2, and SeaMonkey before 2.23 does not properly enforce certain typeset restrictions on the generation of GetElementIC typed array stubs, which has unspecified impact and remote attack vectors. (CVE-2013-5615)
