+ 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>

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The following vulnerabilities were found and fixed in the Mozilla Suite
+ and Mozilla Firefox:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Vladimir V. Perepelitsa reported a memory disclosure bug in
+ JavaScript's regular expression string replacement when using an
+ anonymous function as the replacement argument (CAN-2005-0989).</li>
+ <li>moz_bug_r_a4 discovered that Chrome UI code was overly trusting DOM
+ nodes from the content window, allowing privilege escalation via DOM
+ property overrides.</li>
+ <li>Michael Krax reported a possibility to run JavaScript code with
+ elevated privileges through the use of javascript: favicons.</li>
+ <li>Michael Krax also discovered that malicious Search plugins could
+ run JavaScript in the context of the displayed page or stealthily
+ replace existing search plugins.</li>
+ <li>shutdown discovered a technique to pollute the global scope of a
+ window in a way that persists from page to page.</li>
+ <li>Doron Rosenberg discovered a possibility to run JavaScript with
+ elevated privileges when the user asks to "Show" a blocked popup that
+ contains a JavaScript URL.</li>
+ <li>Finally, Georgi Guninski reported missing Install object instance
+ checks in the native implementations of XPInstall-related JavaScript
+ objects.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ The following Firefox-specific vulnerabilities have also been
+ discovered:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Kohei Yoshino discovered a new way to abuse the sidebar panel to
+ execute JavaScript with elevated privileges.</li>
+ <li>Omar Khan reported that the Plugin Finder Service can be tricked to
+ open javascript: URLs with elevated privileges.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ The various JavaScript execution with elevated privileges issues can be
+ exploited by a remote attacker to install malicious code or steal data.
+ The memory disclosure issue can be used to reveal potentially sensitive
+ information. Finally, the cache pollution issue and search plugin abuse
+ can be leveraged in cross-site-scripting attacks.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>

+ All Mozilla Firefox binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync

+ <p>
+ All Mozilla Suite users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
