  • CVE-2009-1303
    Olli Pettay, Martijn Wargers, Mats Palmgren, Oleg Romashin, Jesse Ruderman

    saving a web site with an embedded frame may lead to information disclosure.

    to Javascript URIs, resulting in cross-site scripting.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed
in version 1.9.0.9-0lenny2.

As indicated in the Etch release notes, security support for the
Mozilla products in the oldstable distribution needed to be stopped
before the end of the regular Etch security maintenance life cycle.
You are strongly encouraged to upgrade to stable or switch to a still
supported browser.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.9.0.9-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your xulrunner packages.
