+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Martijn Wargers and Nick Mott discovered a vulnerability when
+ rendering malformed JavaScript content. The Mozilla Firefox 1.0 line is
+ not affected.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ If JavaScript is enabled, by tricking a user into visiting a
+ malicious web page which would send a specially crafted HTML script
+ that contains references to deleted objects with the "designMode"
+ property enabled, an attacker can crash the web browser and in theory
+ manage to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running
+ the browser.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Mozilla Firefox 1.5 users should upgrade to the latest
+ version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.3&quot;</code>

+ All Mozilla Firefox 1.5 binary users should upgrade to the
