Detail
| Martijn Wargers and Nick Mott described crashes of Mozilla due to the use of a deleted controller context. In theory this could be abused to execute malicious code. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.7.8-1sarge6. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your mozilla packages. |

| Title: | Mozilla Deleted Object Reference When designMode="on" | ||
| Description: | Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.2, when designMode is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via certain Javascript that is not properly handled by the contentWindow.focus method in an iframe, which causes a reference to a deleted controller context object. NOTE: this was originally claimed to be a buffer overflow in (1) js320.dll and (2) xpcom_core.dll, but the vendor disputes this claim. | ||
