=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.15~prepatch080614i-0ubuntu1

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart Firefox to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

Several flaws were discovered in the browser engine. These problems could a=
llow
an attacker to crash the browser and possibly execute arbitrary code with u=
ser
privileges. (CVE-2008-5500)

Boris Zbarsky discovered that the same-origin check in Firefox could be
bypassed by utilizing XBL-bindings. An attacker could exploit this to read =
data
=66rom other domains. (CVE-2008-5503)

Marius Schilder discovered that Firefox did not properly handle redirects to
an outside domain when an XMLHttpRequest was made to a same-origin resource.
It's possible that sensitive information could be revealed in the
XMLHttpRequest response. (CVE-2008-5506)

Chris Evans discovered that Firefox did not properly protect a user's data =
when
accessing a same-domain Javascript URL that is redirected to an unparsable
Javascript off-site resource. If a user were tricked into opening a malicio=
us
website, an attacker may be able to steal a limited amount of private data.
(CVE-2008-5507)

Several flaws were discovered in the Javascript engine. If a user were tric=
ked
into opening a malicious website, an attacker could exploit this to execute
arbitrary Javascript code within the context of another website or with chr=
ome
privileges. (CVE-2008-5511, CVE-2008-5512)
