Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Iceweasel web browser, an unbranded version of the Firefox browser. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  • CVE-2007-3844 ‘moz_bug_r_a4’ discovered that a regression in the handling of’about:blank’ windows used by addons may lead to an attacker being able to modify the content of websites.

  • CVE-2007-3845 Jesper Johansson discovered that missing sanitising of double-quotes and spaces in URIs passed to external programs may allow an attacker to pass arbitrary arguments to the helper program if the user is tricked into opening a malformed web page.

The Mozilla products in the oldstable distribution (sarge) are no longer supported with security updates.
