Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Mozilla SeaMonkey (Web Browser). It has been declared as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is the function Math.random of the component Random Number Generator. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a authentication spoofing vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-290. This attack-focused weakness is caused by incorrectly implemented authentication schemes that are subject to spoofing attacks. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, and integrity. The summary by CVE is:

The Math.random function in the JavaScript implementation in Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x before 3.5.10 and 3.6.x before 3.6.4, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.5, uses a random number generator that is seeded only once per browser session, which makes it easier for remote attackers to track a user, or trick a user into acting upon a spoofed pop-up message, by calculating the seed value, related to a "temporary footprint" and an "in-session phishing attack."

The weakness was released 01/20/2009 by Amit Klein as Bug 475585 as not defined bug report (Bugzilla). The advisory is shared at bugzilla.mozilla.org. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2008-5913. The attack can be launched remotely. Required for exploitation is a single authentication. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.
