CVE-2006-0293  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable firefox to version 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream firefox package and not the firefox package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The function allocation code (js_NewFunction in jsfun.c) in Firefox 1.5 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via user-defined methods that trigger garbage collection in a way that operates on freed objects.
