+ Mozilla Firefox is the next-generation web browser from the

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The following vulnerabilities were found and fixed in Mozilla
+ Firefox:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>"moz_bug_r_a4" and "shutdown" discovered that
+ Firefox was improperly cloning base objects (MFSA 2005-56).</li>
+ <li>Michael Krax reported that Firefox was not correctly handling
+ JavaScript URLs from external applications (MFSA 2005-53), and that the
+ "Set as wallpaper" function in versions 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 could be abused
+ to load JavaScript (MFSA 2005-47).</li>
+ <li>Several researchers
+ reported ways to trick Firefox into accepting events generated by web
+ content (MFSA 2005-45).</li>
+ <li>Kohei Yoshino discovered a new way to
+ inject script from the sidebar panel using data: (MFSA 2005-49).</li>
+ <li>"moz_bug_r_a4" reported that Firefox failed to validate XHTML DOM
+ nodes properly (MFSA 2005-55), and that XBL scripts ran even when
+ Javascript is disabled (MFSA 2005-46).</li>
+ <li>"shutdown" discovered a
+ possibly exploitable crash in InstallVersion.compareTo (MFSA
+ 2005-50).</li>
+ <li>Finally, Secunia discovered that a child frame can
+ call top.focus() even if the framing page comes from a different origin
+ and has overridden the focus() routine (MFSA 2005-52), and that the
+ frame injection spoofing bug fixed in 1.0.2 was mistakenly reintroduced
+ in 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 (MFSA 2005-51).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could craft malicious web pages that would
+ leverage these issues to inject and execute arbitrary script code with
+ elevated privileges, steal cookies or other information from web pages,
+ or spoof content.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There are no known workarounds for all the issues at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Mozilla Firefox users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0.5"</code>
+ <p>
+ All Mozilla Firefox binary users should upgrade to the latest
+ version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.5"</code>
