Description Josh Bressers 2005-01-19 20:42:52 EST

===================================
Mozilla Security Advisory MSA05-002
===================================

Title:      Opened attachments are temporarily saved world-readable
Severity:   Moderate (on a multiuser computer)
Reporter:   danielk

Fixed in:   Firefox 1.0
            Thunderbird 0.9
            Mozilla Suite 1.7.5

Vulnerable: Firefox 0.9
            Thunderbird 0.6
            Mozilla 1.7


Description
-----------
Mozilla software released after March 2004 saves some temporary files with
world-readable permissions. In the browser this is primarily
content fed to helper applications (for example, PDF files), and in
the mail clients it is attachments.


Workaround
----------
Do not open sensitive mail attachments on a shared multiuser machine.
Upgrade to fixed version
