Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser.
Several bugs were found in the way Firefox processes malformed
JavaScript. A malicious web page could modify the content of a
different open web page, possibly stealing sensitive information or
conducting a cross-site scripting attack. (CVE-2006-1731,
CVE-2006-1732, CVE-2006-1741)
Several bugs were found in the way Firefox processes certain
JavaScript actions. A malicious web page could execute arbitrary
JavaScript instructions with the permissions of 'chrome', allowing the
page to steal sensitive information or install browser malware.
(CVE-2006-1727, CVE-2006-1728, CVE-2006-1733, CVE-2006-1734,
CVE-2006-1735, CVE-2006-1742)
Several bugs were found in the way Firefox processes malformed web
pages. A carefully crafted malicious web page could cause the
execution of arbitrary code as the user running Firefox.
(CVE-2006-0748, CVE-2006-0749, CVE-2006-1724, CVE-2006-1730,
CVE-2006-1737, CVE-2006-1738, CVE-2006-1739, CVE-2006-1790)
A bug was found in the way Firefox displays the secure site icon. If a
browser is configured to display the non-default secure site modal
warning dialog, it may be possible to trick a user into believing they
are viewing a secure site. (CVE-2006-1740)
A bug was found in the way Firefox allows JavaScript mutation events
on 'input' form elements. A malicious web page could be created in
such a way that when a user submits a form, an arbitrary file could be
uploaded to the attacker. (CVE-2006-1729)
Users of Firefox are advised to upgrade to these updated packages
containing Firefox version 1.0.8 which corrects these issues.
