+ Mozilla Firefox is the popular next-generation browser from the

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The following vulnerabilities were found and fixed in Mozilla
+ Firefox:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Mark Dowd from ISS X-Force reported an
+ exploitable heap overrun in the GIF processing of obsolete Netscape
+ extension 2 (CAN-2005-0399)</li>
+ <li>Kohei Yoshino discovered that a
+ page bookmarked as a sidebar could bypass privileges control
+ (CAN-2005-0402)</li>
+ <li>Michael Krax reported a new way to bypass XUL
+ security restrictions through drag-and-drop of items like scrollbars
+ (CAN-2005-0401)</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <ul>
+ <li>The GIF heap overflow could be triggered by a malicious GIF
+ image that would end up executing arbitrary code with the rights of the
+ user running Firefox</li>
+ <li>By tricking the user into bookmarking a
+ malicious page as a Sidebar, a remote attacker could potentially
+ execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the
+ browser</li>
+ <li>By setting up a malicious website and convincing users
+ to obey very specific drag-and-drop instructions, attackers may
+ leverage drag-and-drop features to bypass XUL security restrictions,
+ which could be used as a stepping stone to exploit other
+ vulnerabilities</li>
+ </ul>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Mozilla Firefox users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0.2&quot;</code>
+ <p>
+ All Mozilla Firefox binary users should upgrade to the latest
+ version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.2&quot;</code>
