    Mozilla Firefox is an open-source web browser and Mozilla Thunderbird
    an open-source email client, both from the Mozilla Project. The
    SeaMonkey project is a community effort to deliver production-quality
    releases of code derived from the application formerly known as the
    'Mozilla Application Suite'. XULRunner is a Mozilla runtime package
    that can be used to bootstrap XUL+XPCOM applications like Firefox and
    Thunderbird.

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted web
    page or email that will trigger one of the vulnerabilities, possibly
    leading to the execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service. It
    is also possible for an attacker to trick a user to upload arbitrary
    files when submitting a form, to corrupt saved passwords for other
    sites, to steal login credentials, or to conduct Cross-Site Scripting
    and Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround 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 "&gt;=www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.14"</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-2.0.0.14"</code>
    <p>
    All Mozilla Thunderbird users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-2.0.0.14"</code>
    <p>
    All Mozilla Thunderbird binary users should upgrade to the latest
    version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-bin-2.0.0.14"</code>
    <p>
    All SeaMonkey users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/seamonkey-1.1.9-r1"</code>
    <p>
    All SeaMonkey binary users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-client/seamonkey-bin-1.1.9"</code>
    <p>
    All XULRunner users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-libs/xulrunner-1.8.1.14"</code>
    <p>
    NOTE: The crash vulnerability (CVE-2008-1380) is currently unfixed in
    the SeaMonkey binary ebuild, as no precompiled packages have been
    released. Until an update is available, we recommend all SeaMonkey
    users to disable JavaScript, use Firefox for JavaScript-enabled
    browsing, or switch to the SeaMonkey source ebuild.
