http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2006/mfsa2006-43.html The upstream advisory describes a way to execute javascript at a privileged level. This bug exists because while this fix exists upstream and should be fixed via Firefox 1.5.0.4 and Seamonkey 1.0.2, it is not on s390x. This bug is the placeholder so we can figure out what's wrong.
Hm, still looks like a problem on s390x, but there're the latest packages there: .qa.[root@s390x-4as ~]# rpm -q firefox firefox-1.5.0.8-0.1.el4.s390x .qa.[root@s390x-4as ~]# rpm -q seamonkey seamonkey-1.0.6-0.1.el4.s390x
This still isn't fixed # rpm -q seamonkey seamonkey-1.0.9-0.3.el3.s390x
Chris, Can we get someone to look at this? I fear it's the result of something bigger we're not understanding.
Since this bugzilla report was filed, we have seriously upgraded Gecko-related packages, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their distribution available. Please, confirm to us that this bug is reproducible on the latest upgrade of the supported distribution (that's RHEL, or Fedora 7, 8, and Rawhide). Setting the bug to NEEDINFO. If I won't get confirmation of reproducability in 30 days, the bug will be closed as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. [This is mass-changing of bugs which seem to be too old and irrelevant anymore; we are sorry, if this bug should not be incldued.]
Cannot reproduce with this seamonkey-1.0.9-9.el4.i386. Unfortuantely, I have no access to s390 computer.
OK, tried with s390x and I wasn't able to reproduce it either. The version was seamonkey-1.0.9-9.el4.s390x
