This was originally bug 194617, until Bugzilla barfed yesterday. Entering
it again...
Summary: CVE-2006-2779 Multiple Mozilla issues (CVE-2006-2781,
CVE-2006-2788)
Product: Fedora Core
Version: fc5
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: urgent
Priority: normal
Component: firefox
AssignedTo: caillon
ReportedBy: mattdm

This issue also affects Fedora Core 5. A lot of the problems fixed in 1.5.0.4
don't seem that severe, but a few of these are serious enough to at least turn
some heads. And it's been public for a quite a while now.
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #193906 +++

CVE-2006-2779
Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird before 1.5.0.4 allow remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary
code via (1) nested <option> tags in a select tag, (2) a
DOMNodeRemoved mutation event, (3) "Content-implemented tree views,"
(4) BoxObjects, (5) the XBL implementation, (6) an iframe that
attempts to remove itself, which leads to memory corruption.

Removing dependency on bug #193906, since that's really a separate issue since
it requires backports.
I still don't see an update for this even in the testing tree.
