MFSA 2005-45    Fixed in: Firefox 1.0.5 Mozilla Suite 1.7.9
        impact=moderate,source=mozilla,public=20050712
            In several places the browser UI did not correctly distinguish
            between true user events, such as mouse clicks or keystrokes, and
            synthetic events genenerated by web content. The problems ranged
            from minor annoyances like switching tabs or entering full-screen
            mode, to a variant on MFSA 2005-34

            Scripts in XBL controls from web content continued to be run even
            when Javascript was disabled. By itself this causes no harm, but
            it could be combined with most script-based exploits to attack
            people running vulnerable versions who thought disabling
            javascript would protect them.

            If an attacker can convince a victim to use the "Set As Wallpaper"
            context menu item on a specially crafted image then they can run
            arbitary code on the user's computer. The image "source" must be a
            javascript: url containing an eval() statement and such an image
            would get the "broken image" icon, but with CSS it could be made
            transparent and placed on top of a real image.

        MFSA 2005-48     Firefox 1.0.5 Mozilla Suite 1.7.9
        impact=moderate,source=mozilla,public=20050712
            The InstallTrigger.install() method for launching an install
            accepts a callback function that will be called with the final
            success or error status. By forcing a page navigation immediately
            after calling the install method this callback function can end up
            running in the context of the new page selected by the attacker.
            This is true even if the user cancels the unwanted install dialog:
            cancel is an error status. This callback script can steal data
            from the new page such as cookies or passwords, or perform actions
            on the user's behalf such as make a purchase if the user is
            already logged into the target site.

        impact=important,source=mozilla,public=20050712
            Sites can use the _search target to open links in the Firefox
            sidebar.  A missing security check allows the sidebar to inject
            data: urls containing scripts into any page open in the browser.
            This could be used to steal cookies, passwords or other sensitive
            data.

            When InstallVersion.compareTo() is passed an object rather than a
            string it assumed the object was another InstallVersion without
            verifying it. When passed a different kind of object the browser
            would generally crash with an access violation.

            The original frame-injection spoofing bug was fixed in the Mozilla
            Suite 1.7 and Firefox 0.9 releases. This protection was
            accidentally disabled by one of the fixes in the Firefox 1.0.3 and
            Mozilla Suite 1.7.7 releases.

            A child frame can call top.focus() even if the framing page comes
            from a different origin and has overridden the focus() routine.
            The call is made in the context of the child frame. The attacker
            would look for a target site with a framed page that makes this
            call but doesn't verify that its parent comes from the same site.
            By framing this page the attacker could steal cookies and
            passwords, or take actions on the site on behalf of a signed-in
            user.

            Several media players, for example Flash and QuickTime, support
            scripted content with the ability to open URLs in the default
            browser. The default behavior for Firefox and the Mozilla Suite
            was to replace the currently open browser window's content with
            the externally opened content.  If the external URL was a
            javascript: url it would run as if it came from the site that
            served the previous content, which could be used to steal
            sensitive information such as login cookies or passwords. If the
            media player content first caused a privileged chrome: url to load
            then the subsequent javascript: url could execute arbitrary code.

            Alerts and prompts created by scripts in web pages are presented
            with the generic title [JavaScript Application] which sometimes
            makes it difficult to know which site created them. A malicious
            page could attempt to cause a prompt to appear in front of a
            trusted site in an attempt to extract information such as
            passwords from the user.

            Parts of the browser UI relied too much on DOM node names without
            taking different namespaces into account and verifying that the
            node was really of the expected type. An XHTML document could be
            used, for example, to create fake <IMG> elements with
            content-defined properties that will be accessed as if they were
            the trusted built-in properties of the expected HTML elements.

            Improper cloning of base objects allowed web content scripts to
            get to a privileged object by walking up the prototype chain. This
            could be used to execute code with enhanced privileges.
