Upgrade mozilla to version 1.5.0.7 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). Mozilla Firefox before 1.5.0.7, Thunderbird before 1.5.0.7, and SeaMonkey before 1.0.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed JavaScript regular expression that ends with a backslash in an unterminated character set ("[\"), which leads to a buffer over-read.
