Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0-2.37.200411220627
Severity: grave
Tags: security

Three security vulnerabilities have been found in Firefox:
I'm write a collective bugreport for all three vulnerabilities, as you'll 
they're
all fixed in 1.0.2:

CAN-2005-0399:
An GIF processing error when parsing the obsolete Netscape extension 2 can lead 
to
an exploitable heap overrun, allowing an attacker to run arbitrary code on the
user's machine.

CAN-2005-0401:
A malicious page that could lure a user into dragging something (such as a fake
scrollbar) can bypass the restriction on opening privileged XUL. The startup
scripts in the XUL will run with enhanced privilege, though the actions taken
upon merely opening most XUL are benign. So far no way to run arbitrary code
supplied by the attacker has been found, but this could be a stepping-stone to
future attacks.

CAN-2005-0402:
If a user bookmarked a malicious page as a Firefox sidebar panel that page could
execute arbitrary programs by opening a privileged page and injecting javascript
into it.

Cheers,
