Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. Firefox before 1.0.1 and Mozilla Suite before 1.7.6 use a predictable filename for the plugin temporary directory, which allows local users to delete arbitrary files of other users via a symlink attack on the plugtmp directory.
