mozilla - several

Several problems have been discovered in Mozilla, the web browser of
the Mozilla suite. Since the usual praxis of backporting apparently
does not work for this package, this update is basically version
1.7.10 with the version number rolled back, and hence still named
1.7.8. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies
the following problems:

• CAN-2004-0718, CAN-2005-1937
  A vulnerability has been discovered in Mozilla that allows remote
  attackers to inject arbitrary Javascript from one page into the
  frameset of another site.
• CAN-2005-2260
  The browser user interface does not properly distinguish between
  user-generated events and untrusted synthetic events, which makes
  it easier for remote attackers to perform dangerous actions that
  normally could only be performed manually by the user.
• CAN-2005-2261
  XML scripts ran even when Javascript disabled.
• CAN-2005-2263
  It is possible for a remote attacker to execute a callback
  function in the context of another domain (i.e. frame).
• CAN-2005-2265
  Missing input sanitising of InstallVersion.compareTo() can cause
  the application to crash.
• CAN-2005-2266
  Remote attackers could steal sensitive information such as cookies
  and passwords from web sites by accessing data in alien frames.
• CAN-2005-2268
  It is possible for a Javascript dialog box to spoof a dialog box
  from a trusted site and facilitates phishing attacks.
• CAN-2005-2269
  Remote attackers could modify certain tag properties of DOM nodes
  that could lead to the execution of arbitrary script or code.
• CAN-2005-2270
  The Mozilla browser family does not properly clone base objects,
  which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.7.8-1sarge2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 1.7.10-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your Mozilla packages.
