Background =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The Mozilla Suite is a popular all-in-one web browser that includes a mail and news reader. Affected packages =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 www-client/mozilla <=3D 1.7.13 Vulnerable! 2 www-client/mozilla-bin <=3D 1.7.13 Vulnerable! ------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Certain packages are still vulnerable. Users should migrate to another package if one is available or wait for the existing packages to be marked stable by their architecture maintainers. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 affected packages on all of their supported architectures. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Description =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Several vulnerabilities ranging from code execution with elevated privileges to information leaks affect the Mozilla Suite. Impact =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D A remote attacker could entice a user to browse to a specially crafted website or open a specially crafted mail that could trigger some of the vulnerabilities, potentially allowing execution of arbitrary code, denials of service, information leaks, or cross-site scripting attacks leading to the robbery of cookies of authentication credentials. Workaround =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Most of the issues, but not all of them, can be prevented by disabling the HTML rendering in the mail client and JavaScript on every application. Resolution =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D The Mozilla Suite is no longer supported and has been masked after some necessary changes on all the other ebuilds which used to depend on it. Mozilla Suite users should unmerge www-client/mozilla or www-client/mozilla-bin, and switch to a supported product, like SeaMonkey, Thunderbird or Firefox. =20 # emerge --unmerge "www-client/mozilla" =20 # emerge --unmerge "www-client/mozilla-bin" References =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D [ 1 ] Official Advisory http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html= #Mozilla Availability =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200703-05.xml Concerns? =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
