Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0.5-1
Severity: important

I've tested firefox to be vulnerable to CAN-2005-2395.

Mozilla Firefox 1.0.4 and 1.0.5 does not choose the challenge with the 
strongest authentication scheme available as required by RFC2617, which
might cause credentials to be sent in plaintext even if an encrypted channel
is available.
