<description>
<p>
An anonymous researcher found evidence of memory corruption in the way
Mozilla Firefox handles certain types of SVG comment DOM nodes.
Additionally, Frederik Reiss discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in
the conversion of a CSS cursor. Other issues with memory corruption
were also fixed. Mozilla Firefox also contains less severe
vulnerabilities involving JavaScript and Java.

<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web page
that will trigger one of the vulnerabilities, possibly leading to the
execution of arbitrary code. It is also possible for an attacker to
perform cross-site scripting attacks, leading to the exposure of
sensitive information, like user credentials.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There are no known workarounds for all the issues at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Mozilla Firefox users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.9&quot;</code>
<p>
All Mozilla Firefox binary release users should upgrade to the latest
version:

<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.5.0.9&quot;</code>
