VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/26881/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.x
http://secunia.com/product/12434/
Mozilla Firefox 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/4227/

DESCRIPTION:
Mozilla has acknowledged a security issue in Firefox, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The security issue is caused due to the "-chrome" parameter allowing
execution of arbitrary Javascript script code in chrome context. This
can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands on a user's system e.g.
via applications invoking Firefox with unfiltered command line
arguments.

encourages users to upgrade to Firefox 2.
