Heap-based buffer overflow in the UTF8ToNewUnicode function for Firefox before 1.0.1 and Mozilla before 1.7.6 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via invalid sequences in a UTF8 encoded string that result in a zero length value.
Firefox before 1.0 and Mozilla before 1.7.5 display the SSL lock icon when an insecure page loads a binary file from a trusted site, which could facilitate phishing attacks.
Firefox before 1.0.1 and Mozilla before 1.7.6 allows remote attackers to spoof the SSL "secure site" lock icon via (1) a web site that does not finish loading, which shows the lock of the previous site, (2) a non-HTTP server that uses SSL, which causes the lock to be displayed when the SSL handshake is completed, or (3) a URL that generates an HTTP 204 error, which updates the icon and location information but does not change the display of the original site.
Thunderbird 0.6 through 0.9 and Mozilla 1.7 through 1.7.3 does not obey the network.cookie.disableCookieForMailNews preference, which could allow remote attackers to bypass the user's intended privacy and security policy by using cookies in e-mail messages.
The International Domain Name (IDN) support in Firefox 1.0, Camino .8.5, and Mozilla before 1.7.6 allows remote attackers to spoof domain names using punycode encoded domain names that are decoded in URLs and SSL certificates in a way that uses homograph characters from other character sets, which facilitates phishing attacks.
Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via (1) the "Send page" functionality, (2) certain responses from a malicious POP3 server, or (3) a link containing a non-ASCII hostname.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the writeGroup function in nsVCardObj.cpp for Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via malformed VCard attachments that are not properly handled when previewing a message.
Integer overflow in the bitmap (BMP) decoder for Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via wide bitmap files that trigger heap-based buffer overflows.
The XPInstall installer in Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8 sets insecure permissions for certain installed files within xpi packages, which could allow local users to overwrite arbitrary files or execute arbitrary code.
The Linux install .tar.gz archives for Mozilla Firefox before the Preview Release, Mozilla before 1.7.3, and Thunderbird before 0.8, create certain files with insecure permissions, which could allow local users to overwrite those files and execute arbitrary code.
