Dist Fedora Esm H88
An urgent security notice for Fedora Core 3 has been issued concerning vulnerabilities in Mozilla's management of global domain names. Discover further details.
Updated package.

Summary

Mozilla is an open-source Web browser, designed for standards

compliance, performance, and portability.

An updated mozilla package that fixes a security bug is now

available for Fedora Core 3.

This update has been rated as having critical security

impact by the Fedora Security Response Team.

Mozilla is an open source Web browser, advanced email and

newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.

A bug was found in the way Mozilla processes certain

international domain names. An attacker could create a

specially crafted HTML file, which when viewed by the victim

would cause Mozilla to crash or possibly execute arbitrary

code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project

(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-2871 to this

issue.

Users of Mozilla are advised to upgrade to this updated

package that contains a backported patch and is not

vulnerable to this issue.
