Ubuntu priority

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.10 processes a 3xx HTTP CONNECT response before a successful SSL handshake, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary web script, in an https site's context, by modifying this CONNECT response to specify a 302 redirect to an arbitrary https web site.

https://www.paypal.com/ is the PoC site, but https://wiki.ubuntu.com seems to be a valid trigger as well (both set a cookie which is sent on connect). https://www.verisign.com will trigger the alert() in the PoC, but doesn't contain the cookie firefox-3.0 (3.0.9) is confirmed to be affected mozilla is silently fixing this in 3.0.10, but it won't be public until the CRD konqueror 3 (kdelibs) in dapper is confirmed to be affected konqueror 4 (kde4libs) in jaunty does not seem to be affected (displays it's own connection refused message for all 4xx codes) webkit on jaunty does not seem affected, though all of its consumers are rather flaky (midori, python-webkit/webbrowser.py, webkit/GtkLauncher, kazehakase-webkit). None of these would work with paypal or wiki.u.c, but would with https://www.verisign.com/. At verisign, firefox would display the PoC alert, but without the cookie. webkit, midori and python-webkit would not display the alert at all (kazehakase crashes on any page load). Other consumers are devhelp and anjuta, but I didn't see how to get an external page to load. At any rate, webkit is a tentative 'not-affected'. Will get more feedback from Debian maintainer. qt4-x11 in jaunty does not seem to be affected. arora is its browser consumer and it displays its own 'HTTP request failed' message for all 4xx codes also checked epiphany-webkit on 8.10. The browser can go to paypal, but is not vulnerable (does not display the alert at all for all 4xx codes)
