The browser user interface in Firefox before 1.0.5, Mozilla before 1.7.9, and Netscape 8.0.2 and 7.2 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.

CVE-2004-1156 Ubuntu 4.10 update for Firefox vulnerabilities
Title: Ubuntu 4.10 update for Firefox vulnerabilities
Summary: Ubuntu 4.10 update for Firefox vulnerabilities
USN-149-1 fixed some vulnerabilities in the Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary
Hedgehog) version of Firefox. The version shipped with Ubuntu 4.10
(Warty Warthog) is also vulnerable to these flaws, so it needs to be
upgraded as well. Please see
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/usn/usn-149-1
for the original advisory.
This update also fixes several older vulnerabilities; Some of them
could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with full user privileges
if the user visited a malicious web site. (MFSA-2005-01 to
MFSA-2005-44; please see the following web site for details:

Title: Mozilla vulnerabilities
Summary: Mozilla vulnerabilities
Secunia.com reported that one of the recent security patches in
Firefox reintroduced the frame injection patch that was originally
known as CAN-2004-0718. This allowed a malicious web site to spoof the
contents of other web sites. (CAN-2005-1937)
It was discovered that a malicious website could inject arbitrary
scripts into a target site by loading it into a frame and navigating
back to a previous Javascript URL that contained an eval() call. This
could be used to steal cookies or other confidential data from the
target site. (MFSA 2005-42)
Michael Krax, Georgi Guninski, and L. David Baron found that the
security checks that prevent script injection could be bypassed by
wrapping a javascript: url in another pseudo-protocol

contents of other web sites. (CAN-2005-1937)
In several places the browser user interface did not correctly
distinguish between true user events, such as mouse clicks or
keystrokes, and synthetic events genenerated by web content. This
could be exploited by malicious web sites to generate e. g. mouse
clicks that install malicious plugins. Synthetic events are now
prevented from reaching the browser UI entirely. (CAN-2005-2260)
Scripts in XBL controls from web content continued to be run even when
Javascript was disabled. Thi
