Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.9 and 2.0.0.1, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.8 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via JavaScript onUnload handlers that modify the structure of a document, wich triggers memory corruption due to the lack of a finalize hook on DOM window objects.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2007:0079 :

Updated firefox packages that fix several security bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser.

Several flaws were found in the way Firefox processed certain malformed JavaScript code. A malicious web page could execute JavaScript code in such a way that may result in Firefox crashing or executing arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2007-0775, CVE-2007-0777)

Several cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the way Firefox processed certain malformed web pages. A malicious web page could display misleading information which may result in a user unknowingly divulging sensitive information such as a password. (CVE-2006-6077, CVE-2007-0995, CVE-2007-0996)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox cached web pages on the local disk. A malicious web page may be able to inject arbitrary HTML into a browsing session if the user reloads a targeted site. (CVE-2007-0778)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox displayed certain web content. A malicious web page could generate content which could overlay user interface elements such as the hostname and security indicators, tricking a user into thinking they are visiting a different site.
(CVE-2007-0779)

Two flaws were found in the way Firefox displayed blocked popup windows. If a user can be convinced to open a blocked popup, it is possible to read arbitrary local files, or conduct an XSS attack against the user. (CVE-2007-0780, CVE-2007-0800)

Two buffer overflow flaws were found in the Network Security Services (NSS) code for processing the SSLv2 protocol. Connecting to a malicious secure web server could cause the execution of arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2007-0008, CVE-2007-0009)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled the 'location.hostname' value during certain browser domain checks. This flaw could allow a malicious web site to set domain cookies for an arbitrary site, or possibly perform an XSS attack. (CVE-2007-0981)

Users of Firefox are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain Firefox version 1.5.0.10 that corrects these issues.

Updated thunderbird packages that fix several security bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

[Updated 06 March 2007] Updated text description to add CVE-2007-1282 and remove CVE-2007-0994, which was mistakenly listed as affecting Thunderbird. No changes have been made to these erratum packages.

Mozilla Thunderbird is a standalone mail and newsgroup client.

Several flaws were found in the way Thunderbird processed certain malformed JavaScript code. A malicious HTML mail message could execute JavaScript code in such a way that may result in Thunderbird crashing or executing arbitrary code as the user running Thunderbird.
JavaScript support is disabled by default in Thunderbird; these issues are not exploitable unless the user has enabled JavaScript.
(CVE-2007-0775, CVE-2007-0777, CVE-2007-1092)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird processed text/enhanced and text/richtext formatted mail message. A specially crafted mail message could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Thunderbird. (CVE-2007-1282)

Several cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in the way Thunderbird processed certain malformed HTML mail messages. A malicious HTML mail message could display misleading information which may result in a user unknowingly divulging sensitive information such as a password. (CVE-2006-6077, CVE-2007-0995, CVE-2007-0996)

A flaw was found in the way Thunderbird cached web content on the local disk. A malicious HTML mail message may be able to inject arbitrary HTML into a browsing session if the user reloads a targeted site. (CVE-2007-0778)

USN-428-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Firefox 1.5. However, changes to library paths caused applications depending on libnss3 to fail to start up. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Several flaws have been found that could be used to perform Cross-site scripting attacks. A malicious website could exploit these to modify the contents or steal confidential data (such as passwords) from other opened web pages. (CVE-2006-6077, CVE-2007-0780, CVE-2007-0800, CVE-2007-0981, CVE-2007-0995, CVE-2007-0996)

The SSLv2 protocol support in the NSS library did not sufficiently check the validity of public keys presented with a SSL certificate. A malicious SSL website using SSLv2 could potentially exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. (CVE-2007-0008)

The SSLv2 protocol support in the NSS library did not sufficiently verify the validity of client master keys presented in an SSL client certificate. A remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code in a server application that uses the NSS library. (CVE-2007-0009)

Various flaws have been reported that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with user privileges by tricking the user into opening a malicious web page.
(CVE-2007-0775, CVE-2007-0776, CVE-2007-0777, CVE-2007-1092) 

Two web pages could collide in the disk cache with the result that depending on order loaded the end of the longer document could be appended to the shorter when the shorter one was reloaded from the cache. It is possible a determined hacker could construct a targeted attack to steal some sensitive data from a particular web page. The potential victim would have to be already logged into the targeted service (or be fooled into doing so) and then visit the malicious site. (CVE-2007-0778)

David Eckel reported that browser UI elements--such as the host name and security indicators--could be spoofed by using custom cursor images and a specially crafted style sheet.
(CVE-2007-0779).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Users of Thunderbird are advised to apply this update, which contains Thunderbird version 1.5.0.10 that corrects these issues.

A number of security vulnerabilities have been discovered and corrected in the latest Mozilla Firefox program, version 1.5.0.10.

This update provides the latest Firefox to correct these issues.

Update :

A regression was found in the latest Firefox packages provided where changes to library paths caused applications that depended on the NSS libraries (such as Thunderbird and Evolution) to fail to start or fail to load certain SSL-related security components. These new packages correct that problem and we apologize for any inconvenience the previous update may have caused.

The installed version of SeaMonkey contains various security issues, some of which may lead to execution of arbitrary code on the affected host subject to the user's privileges.
