Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted FTP response, when attempting to connect with a username and password via the FTP URI.

Several security related problems have been discovered in Mozilla and derived products such as Mozilla Thunderbird. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities :

  - CVE-2006-4310     Tomas Kempinsky discovered that malformed FTP server     responses could lead to denial of service.

  - CVE-2006-5462     Ulrich Kuhn discovered that the correction for a     cryptographic flaw in the handling of PKCS-1     certificates was incomplete, which allows the forgery of     certificates.

  - CVE-2006-5463     'shutdown' discovered that modification of JavaScript     objects during execution could lead to the execution of     arbitrary JavaScript bytecode.

  - CVE-2006-5464     Jesse Ruderman and Martijn Wargers discovered several     crashes in the layout engine, which might also allow     execution of arbitrary code.

  - CVE-2006-5748     Igor Bukanov and Jesse Ruderman discovered several     crashes in the JavaScript engine, which might allow     execution of arbitrary code.

This update also addresses several crashes, which could be triggered by malicious websites and fixes a regression introduced in the previous Mozilla update.

This update covers packages for the little endian MIPS architecture missing in the original advisory. For reference please find below the original advisory text :
