Several security related problems have been discovered in Mozilla and derived products. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2006-6497 Several vulnerabilities in the layout engine allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly permit them to execute arbitrary code. [MFSA 2006-68] CVE-2006-6498 Several vulnerabilities in the JavaScript engine allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly permit them to execute arbitrary code. [MFSA 2006-68] CVE-2006-6499 A bug in the js_dtoa function allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service. [MFSA 2006-68] CVE-2006-6501 shutdown discovered a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to gain privileges and install malicious code via the watch JavaScript function. [MFSA 2006-70] CVE-2006-6502 Steven Michaud discovered a programming bug that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service. [MFSA 2006-71] CVE-2006-6503 moz_bug_r_a4 reported that the src attribute of an IMG element could be used to inject JavaScript code. [MFSA 2006-72] CVE-2006-6505 Georgi Guninski discovered several heap-based buffer overflows that allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. [MFSA 2006-74] For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 1.7.8-1sarge10. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.7-1 of iceape. We recommend that you upgrade your Mozilla and Iceape packages.
