  <title>Mozilla Suite, Mozilla Firefox: Remote compromise</title>
  <synopsis>
    Several vulnerabilities in the Mozilla Suite and Firefox allow an attacker
    to conduct cross-site scripting attacks or to execute arbitrary code.

    <p>
    The Mozilla Suite is a popular all-in-one web browser that
    includes a mail and news reader. Mozilla Firefox is the next-generation
    browser from the Mozilla project.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    The Mozilla Suite and Firefox do not properly protect "IFRAME"
    JavaScript URLs from being executed in context of another URL in the
    history list (CAN-2005-1476). The Mozilla Suite and Firefox also fail
    to verify the "IconURL" parameter of the "InstallTrigger.install()"
    function (CAN-2005-1477). Michael Krax and Georgi Guninski discovered
    that it is possible to bypass JavaScript-injection security checks by
    wrapping the javascript: URL within the view-source: or jar:
    pseudo-protocols (MFSA2005-43).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A malicious remote attacker could use the "IFRAME" issue to
    execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the context of another
    website, allowing to steal cookies or other sensitive data. By
    supplying a javascript: URL as the "IconURL" parameter of the
    "InstallTrigger.Install()" function, a remote attacker could also
    execute arbitrary JavaScript code. Combining both vulnerabilities with
    a website which is allowed to install software or wrapping javascript:
    URLs within the view-source: or jar: pseudo-protocols could possibly
    lead to the execution of arbitrary code with user privileges.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    Affected systems can be protected by disabling JavaScript.
    However, we encourage Mozilla Suite or Mozilla Firefox users to upgrade
    to the latest available version.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Mozilla Firefox users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0.4"</code>
    <p>
    All Mozilla Firefox binary users should upgrade to the latest
    version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.4"</code>
    <p>
    All Mozilla Suite users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/mozilla-1.7.8"</code>
    <p>
    All Mozilla Suite binary users should upgrade to the latest
    version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/mozilla-bin-1.7.8"</code>
