    Mozilla Firefox is the next-generation web browser from the

  <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>
    <p>
    All Mozilla Firefox 1.5 binary users should upgrade to the
    latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.5.0.3&quot;</code>
