OVERVIEW:
        
        Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in various Mozilla 
        products, the most serious of which allow the remote execution of
        arbitrary code.


IMPACT: 

        The vulnerabilities MFSA-2006-68, MFSA-2006-69 MFSA-2006-71, 
        MFSA-2006-73, MFSA-2006-74, may allow the execution of 
        arbitrary code in Firefox, Thunderbird and Seamonkey (with the 
        exception of MFSA-2006-73 and MFSA-2006-74). 
        
        MFSA-2006-70 may allow privilege escalation.

        MFSA-2006-71 and MFSA-2006-76 may allow cross-site script 
        injection.

        MFSA-2006-75 may allow the disclosure of information, but only 
        affects Firefox 2.0.


MITIGATION:

        The above mentioned vulnerabilities have been corrected by new 
        releases of Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird and Seamonkey. Users of 
        these products are encouraged to upgrade to these new releases, 
        which are available from the Mozilla web site [1]. 

        Mitigation strategies have been identified for some, but not all 
        vulnerabilities.
