DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Suite, which
can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions, conduct cross-site scripting attacks and compromise a
user's system.

1) An error where untrusted events generated by web content are
delivered to the browser user interface has various impacts.

This is related to vulnerability #1 in:
SA14938

2) Scripts in XBL controls can be executed even when JavaScript has
been disabled.

3) An error, where the callback function of the
"InstallTrigger.install()" function is not properly cleared before
navigating to a new site, can be exploited to execute arbitrary
script code in a user's browser session in context of an arbitrary
site.

4) An input validation error in the handling of unexpected JavaScript
objects passed to the "InstallVersion.compareTo()" function may be
exploited to execute arbitrary code.

5) An error in the handling of DOM node names with different
namespaces can be exploited to execute arbitrary script code with
escalated privileges via a specially crafted XHTML document.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

6) An error caused due to insecure cloning of base objects can be
exploited to execute arbitrary script code with escalated privileges.

SOLUTION:
Do not browse untrusted web sites.

The vulnerabilities have been fixed in the CVS repository and will be
included in the upcoming 1.7.9 release.
