    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : iceweasel
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem-Type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2008-2785 CVE-2008-2933

    Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Iceweasel
    web browser, an unbranded version of the Firefox browser. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

    CVE-2008-2785

    It was discovered that missing boundary checks on a reference
    counter for CSS objects can lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

    CVE-2008-2933

    Billy Rios discovered that passing an URL containing a pipe symbol
    to Iceweasel can lead to Chrome privilege escalation.

    For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
    version 2.0.0.16-0etch1. Updated packages for ia64, arm and mips are
    not yet available and will be released as soon as they have been built.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in xulrunner 1.9.0.1-1 and iceweasel 3.0.1-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your iceweasel package.
