Patch  oval:com.redhat.rhsa:def:20070097
RHSA-2007:0097: firefox security update (Critical)  

Mozilla Firefox is an open source Web browser.
Flaws were found in the way Firefox executed malformed JavaScript code. A malicious web page could cause Firefox to crash or allow arbitrary code to be executed as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2007-0775, CVE-2007-0777)
Cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in Firefox. A malicious web page could display misleading information, allowing a user to unknowingly divulge sensitive information, such as a password. (CVE-2006-6077, CVE-2007-0995, CVE-2007-0996)
A flaw was found in the way Firefox processed JavaScript contained in certain tags. A malicious web page could cause Firefox to execute JavaScript code with the privileges of the user running Firefox. (CVE-2007-0994)
A flaw was found in the way Firefox cached web pages on the local disk. A malicious web page may have been able to inject arbitrary HTML into a browsing session if the user reloaded a targeted site. (CVE-2007-0778)
Certain web content could overlay Firefox user interface elements such as the hostname and security indicators. A malicious web page could trick a user into thinking they were visiting a different site. (CVE-2007-0779)
Two flaws were found in Firefox's displaying of blocked popup windows. If a user could be convinced to open a blocked popup, it was possible to read arbitrary local files, or conduct a cross-site scripting attack against the user. (CVE-2007-0780, CVE-2007-0800)
Two buffer overflow flaws were found in the Network Security Services (NSS) code for processing the SSLv2 protocol. Connecting to a malicious secure web server could cause the execution of arbitrary code as the user running Firefox. (CVE-2007-0008, CVE-2007-0009)
A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled the "location.hostname" value. A malicious web page could set domain cookies for an arbitrary site, or possibly perform a cross-site scripting attack. (CVE-2007-0981) Users of Firefox are advised to upgrade to this erratum package, containing Firefox version 1.5.0.10 which is not vulnerable to these issues.

Quick Help

Unknown Tests
There is a hardcoded maximum limit for number of tests displayed for a definition. For a small number of oval definitions, about ~1% of all, hundreds of test have been defined. This causes the pages to grow in size, exceed even 1mb, and they are unsuitable for display in a web page. So they are not displayed.Please refer to the xml definition files if you really want to view them.
evr_string datatype
Represents epoch, version, and release number as a single version string
