CVE-2010-3399

Published: 15 September 2010

The js_InitRandom function in the JavaScript implementation in Mozilla Firefox 3.5.10 through 3.5.11, 3.6.4 through 3.6.8, and 4.0 Beta1 uses a context pointer in conjunction with its successor pointer for seeding of a random number generator, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess the seed value via a brute-force attack, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-3171.

builds that use the system xulrunner, and firefox source packages for those
that use a static build

xulrunner (1.8.1): firefox (2.0) - Ubuntu 6.10 - 8.04 LTS (system xul)
xulrunner-1.9: (ignored) reverse dependencies no longer process web content
xulrunner-1.9.1: (ignored) reverese dependencies no longer process web content
xulrunner-1.9.2: system xul for reverese dependencies that process web content
firefox: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (static build)
firefox: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and higher (static build of 3.6.x or higher)
firefox-3.0: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, 9.04 (static build of 3.6.x)
