Debian Security Advisory DSA 1055-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
May 11th, 2006 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : mozilla-firefox
Vulnerability : programming error
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2006-1993
CERT advisory : VU#866300
BugTraq ID : 17671
Martijn Wargers and Nick Mott described crashes of Mozilla due to the
use of a deleted controller context. In theory this could be abused to
execute malicious code. Since Mozilla and Firefox share the same
codebase, Firefox may be vulnerable as well.
For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.7.8-1sarge7.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.3-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your Mozilla Firefox packages.
