BugTraq ID     : 14242
Debian Bug     : 318061

Several problems have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox, a
lightweight web browser based on Mozilla.  The Common Vulnerabilities
and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CAN-2005-2260

    The browser user interface does not properly distinguish between
    user-generated events and untrusted synthetic events, which makes
    it easier for remote attackers to perform dangerous actions that
    normally could only be performed manually by the user.

CAN-2005-2261

    XML scripts ran even when Javascript disabled.

CAN-2005-2262

    The user can be tricked to executing arbitrary JavaScript code by
    using a JavaScript URL as wallpaper.

CAN-2005-2263

    It is possible for a remote attacker to execute a callback
    function in the context of another domain (i.e. frame).

CAN-2005-2264

    By opening a malicious link in the sidebar it is possible for
    remote attackers to steal sensitive information.

CAN-2005-2265

    Missing input sanitising of InstallVersion.compareTo() can cause
    the application to crash.

CAN-2005-2266

    Remote attackers could steal sensitive information such as cookies
    and passwords from web sites by accessing data in alien frames.

CAN-2005-2267

    By using standalone applications such as Flash and QuickTime to
    open a javascript: URL, it is possible for a remote attacker to
    steal sensitive information and possibly execute arbitrary code.

CAN-2005-2268

    It is possible for a Javascript dialog box to spoof a dialog box
    from a trusted site and facilitates phishing attacks.

CAN-2005-2269

    Remote attackers could modify certain tag properties of DOM nodes
    that could lead to the execution of arbitrary script or code.

CAN-2005-2270

    The Mozilla browser familie does not properly clone base objects,
    which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by these problems.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.4-2sarge2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.6-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your Mozilla Firefox packages.
