| 15 | Synopsis |
| 16 | ======== |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Vulnerabilities in Mozilla Firefox allow privilege escalations for |
| 19 | JavaScript code, cross site scripting attacks, HTTP response smuggling |
| 20 | and possibly the execution of arbitrary code. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Background |
| 23 | ========== |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Mozilla Firefox is the next-generation web browser from the Mozilla |
| 26 | project. |
| 27 | |

| 40 | Description |
| 41 | =========== |
| 42 | |
| 43 | A number of vulnerabilities were found and fixed in Mozilla Firefox. |
| 44 | For details please consult the references below. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | Impact |
| 47 | ====== |
| 48 | |
| 49 | By enticing the user to visit a malicious website, a remote attacker |
| 50 | can inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript Code into the user's browser, |
| 51 | execute JavaScript code with elevated privileges and possibly execute |
| 52 | arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the |
| 53 | application. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | Workaround |
| 56 | ========== |
| 57 | |
| 58 | There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 59 | |
| 60 | Resolution |
| 61 | ========== |
| 62 | |
| 63 | All Mozilla Firefox users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 64 | |
| 65 | # emerge --sync |
| 66 | # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.4" |
| 67 | |
| 68 | All Mozilla Firefox binary users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 69 | |
| 70 | # emerge --sync |
| 71 | # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.5.0.4" |
| 72 | |
| 73 | Note: There is no stable fixed version for the Alpha architecture yet. |
| 74 | Users of Mozilla Firefox on Alpha should consider unmerging it until |
| 75 | such a version is available. |
