The remote host is missing an update to mozilla
announced via advisory USN-361-1.
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 5.04
Ubuntu 5.10
This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
Various flaws have been reported that allow an attacker to execute
arbitrary code with user privileges by tricking the user into opening
a malicious URL. (CVE-2006-2788, CVE-2006-3805, CVE-2006-3806,
CVE-2006-3807, CVE-2006-3809, CVE-2006-3811, CVE-2006-4565,
CVE-2006-4568, CVE-2006-4571)
A bug was found in the script handler for automatic proxy
configuration. A malicious proxy could send scripts which could
execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. (CVE-2006-3808)
The NSS library did not sufficiently check the padding of PKCS #1 v1.5
signatures if the exponent of the public key is 3 (which is widely
used for CAs). This could be exploited to forge valid signatures
without the need of the secret key. (CVE-2006-4340)
Georgi Guninski discovered that even with JavaScript disabled, a
malicous email could still execute JavaScript when the message is
viewed, replied to, or forwarded by putting the script in a remote XBL
file loaded by the message. (CVE-2006-4570)
