According to Secunia, these involve cross scripting attacks involving IFRAME Javascript URLs and input passed to the IconURL parameter.

The holes have been confirmed in version 1.0.3, and exploit code is publicly available, said Secunia, in its note, [link|http://secunia.com/product/4227/|here]

New Not a real big issue for those of us
who use *NIX properly with a (non-priv'd) user.

Worst thing that can happen is a problem with the users directory.

OH and BTW
Successful exploitation requires that the site is allowed to install software (default sites are "update.mozilla.org" and "addons.mozilla.org").

A combination of vulnerability 1 and 2 can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.


There are other exploits/vulnerabilities that are this minimal as well on *NIX.

Windows this is extremely bad, the one size fits all and "open-m^Hness" that Windows is... well we know why it is a problem.
