Background

Mozilla Firefox is a cross-platform web browser from Mozilla. SeaMonkey is a free, cross-platform Internet suite.

Description

Jesse Ruderman and Petko D. Petkov reported that the jar protocol handler in Mozilla Firefox and Seamonkey does not properly check MIME types (CVE-2007-5947). Gregory Fleischer reported that the window.location property can be used to generate a fake HTTP Referer (CVE-2007-5960). Multiple memory errors have also been reported (CVE-2007-5959).
