Crashes with evidence of memory corruption (1.5.0.2) As part of the Firefox 1.5.0.2 release we fixed several crash bugs to improve the stability of the product, with a particular focus on finding crashes caused by DHTML. Some of these crashes showed evidence of memory corruption that we presume could be exploited to run arbitrary code with enough effort. Note: Thunderbird shares the browser engine with Firefox and could be vulnerable if JavaScript were to be enabled in mail. This is not the default setting and we strongly discourage users from running JavaScript in mail. Workaround Upgrade to the fixed versions. Do not enable JavaScript in Thunderbird or the mail portion of SeaMonkey.

CVE-2006-1724 This issue also affects RHEL3 This issue also affects RHEL2.1
Lifting embargo
*Ping* Was this bug fixed anywhere? I do not see CVE-2006-1724 listed among the items fixed in Mozilla. Is this, perhaps, a Firefox-only bug?
*ping* Noticing that this bugzilla remains open. Hasn't Seamonkey already been issued to replace Mozilla for the RHEL's? If so, could this bug be closed somehow, referring folks to look at (an) RHSA for Seamonkey for the fix to this issue? As a matter of fact, wasn't this issue fixed with Mozilla-1.7.13 instead of needing Seamonkey to fix it? Or was Mozilla-1.7.13 ever issued for RHEL? Mitre's CVE-2006-1724 indicates a couple of RHSA's were issued for this issue, but they were for: * <http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0328.html> Firefox, and * <http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0330.html> Thunderbird, not for Mozilla/Seamonkey...
Ah. Looks like this Mozilla issue is fixed by: <http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0329.html>.
Hmm, RHSA-2006:0329 doesn't list CVE-2006-1724, we'll have to look if this was deliberate or if it's a mistake.
RHSA-2006:0329 not listing this CVE id is a mistake, I'm fixing it now. Thanks for catching this.
