Description Josh Bressers 2005-03-18 12:04:57 EST

The XPInstall installer in Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla
before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 sets insecure permissions for certain
installed files within xpi packages, which could allow local users to overwrite
arbitrary files or execute arbitrary code.
