Detail

The latest security updates of Mozilla Firefox introduced a regression that led to a disfunctional attachment panel which warrants a correction to fix this issue. For reference please find below the original advisory text:

Several security related problems have been discovered in Mozilla and derived products like Mozilla Firefox. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities:

CVE-2006-3805

The Javascript engine might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. [MFSA-2006-50]

CVE-2006-3806

Multiple integer overflows in the Javascript engine might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. [MFSA-2006-50]

CVE-2006-3807

Specially crafted Javascript allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. [MFSA-2006-51]

CVE-2006-3808

Remote AutoConfig (PAC) servers could execute code with elevated privileges via a specially crafted PAC script. [MFSA-2006-52]

CVE-2006-3809

Scripts with the UniversalBrowserRead privilege could gain UniversalXPConnect privileges and possibly execute code or obtain sensitive data. [MFSA-2006-53]

CVE-2006-3811

Multiple vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code. [MFSA-2006-55]

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.4-2sarge11.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.5-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your mozilla-firefox package.
