Title: Mozilla and Firefox vulnerabilities
Summary: Mozilla and Firefox vulnerabilities
Peter Zelezny discovered that URLs which are passed to Firefox or
Mozilla on the command line are not correctly protected against
interpretation by the shell. If Firefox or Mozilla is configured as
the default handler for URLs (which is the default in Ubuntu), this
could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with user privileges by
tricking the user into clicking on a specially crafted URL (for
example, in an email or chat client). (CAN-2005-2968, MFSA-2005-59)
