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. Since Mozilla and Firefox share the same codebase, Firefox may be vulnerable as well. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.7.8-1sarge7. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.3-1. We recommend that you upgrade your Mozilla Firefox 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. | ||
