Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in Mozilla Firefox.
This will be the last security update of Mozilla-based products for
the oldstable (sarge) distribution of Debian. We recommend to upgrade
to stable (etch) as soon as possible.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
vulnerabilities:
- CVE-2007-1282
It was discovered that an integer overflow in text/enhanced message
parsing allows the execution of arbitrary code.
- CVE-2007-0994
It was discovered that a regression in the Javascript engine allows
the execution of Javascript with elevated privileges.
- CVE-2007-0995
It was discovered that incorrect parsing of invalid HTML characters
allows the bypass of content filters.
- CVE-2007-0996
It was discovered that insecure child frame handling allows cross-site
scripting.
- CVE-2007-0981
It was discovered that Firefox handles URI with a null byte in the
hostname insecurely.
- CVE-2007-0008
It was discovered that a buffer overflow in the NSS code allows the
execution of arbitrary code.
- CVE-2007-0009
It was discovered that a buffer overflow in the NSS code allows the
execution of arbitrary code.
- CVE-2007-0775
It was discovered that multiple programming errors in the layout engine

- CVE-2007-0778

For the oldstable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.4-2sarge17. You should upgrade to etch as soon as possible.
The stable distribution (etch) isn’t affected. These vulnerabilities have
been fixed prior to the release of Debian etch.
The unstable distribution (sid) no longer contains mozilla-firefox. Iceweasel
is already fixed.
