Mozilla Products Contain Multiple Vulnerabilities

   Original release date: April 17, 2006
   Last revised: --
   Source: US-CERT


Systems Affected

     * Mozilla web browser
     * Mozilla email application
     * Firefox web browser
     * Thunderbird email application
     * Mozilla Suite


Overview

     By taking advantage of one or more vulnerabilities in Mozilla
     products, an attacker may be able to take control of your computer.


Solution

Upgrade to the latest versions of Firefox and Thunderbird

     Mozilla has released an updated version of Firefox to correct these
     problems.

     Mozilla has released an updated version of the Thunderbird email
     program to correct these problems.


Description

     There are vulnerabilities in various features of the Mozilla web
     browser, Mozilla email application, Firefox web browser, and
     Thunderbird email application. Some of the vulnerabilities involve
     the way these applications handle URLs or images. For instance, an
     attacker could cause an application to crash or could take control
     of your computer by convincing you to view a malicious web site or
     email message.
