    <p>
    The Mozilla Suite is a popular all-in-one web browser that includes a
    mail and news reader. Mozilla Firefox is the next-generation browser
    from the Mozilla project. Gecko is the layout engine used in both
    products.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    The Mozilla Suite and Firefox are both vulnerable to the following
    issues:
    </p>
    <ul>
    <li>Tom Ferris reported a heap overflow in IDN-enabled browsers with
    malicious Host: headers (CAN-2005-2871).</li>
    <li>"jackerror" discovered a heap overrun in XBM image processing
    (CAN-2005-2701).</li>
    <li>Mats Palmgren reported a potentially exploitable stack corruption
    using specific Unicode sequences (CAN-2005-2702).</li>
    <li>Georgi Guninski discovered an integer overflow in the JavaScript
    engine (CAN-2005-2705)</li>
    <li>Other issues ranging from DOM object spoofing to request header
    spoofing were also found and fixed in the latest versions
    (CAN-2005-2703, CAN-2005-2704, CAN-2005-2706, CAN-2005-2707).</li>
    </ul>
    <p>
    The Gecko engine in itself is also affected by some of these issues and
    has been updated as well.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could setup a malicious site and entice a victim to
    visit it, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution with the
    victim's privileges or facilitated spoofing of known websites.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround for all the issues.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Mozilla Firefox users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0.7-r2"</code>
    <p>
    All Mozilla Suite users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/mozilla-1.7.12-r2"</code>
    <p>
    All Mozilla Firefox binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.7"</code>
    <p>
    All Mozilla Suite binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/mozilla-bin-1.7.12"</code>
    <p>
    All Gecko library users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-libs/gecko-sdk-1.7.12"</code>
