CVE-2005-2353 Mozilla Thunderbird vulnerabilities
Title: Mozilla Thunderbird vulnerabilities
Summary: Mozilla Thunderbird vulnerabilities
Vladimir V. Perepelitsa discovered a bug in Thunderbird's handling of anonymous
functions during regular expression string replacement. A malicious HTML email
could exploit this to capture a random block of client memory. (CAN-2005-0989)
Georgi Guninski discovered that the types of certain XPInstall related
JavaScript objects were not sufficiently validated when they were called. This
could be exploited by malicious HTML email content to crash Thunderbird or even
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user. (CAN-2005-1159)
Thunderbird did not properly verify the values of XML DOM nodes. By tricking
the user to perform a common action like clicking on a link or opening the
context menu, a

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:

CVE-2005-2266 Mozilla vulnerabilities
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

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)
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
