The privileged "chrome" UI code in Firefox before 1.0.3 and Mozilla Suite before 1.7.7 allows remote attackers to gain privileges by overriding certain properties or methods of DOM nodes, as demonstrated using multiple attacks involving the eval function or the Script object.
Firefox before 1.0 and Mozilla before 1.7.5 display the secure site lock icon when a view-source: URL references a secure SSL site while an insecure page is being loaded, which could facilitate phishing attacks.
Firefox before 1.0 and Mozilla before 1.7.5, when configured to use a proxy, respond to 407 proxy auth requests from arbitrary servers, which allows remote attackers to steal NTLM or SPNEGO credentials.
The native implementations of InstallTrigger and other functions in Firefox before 1.0.3 and Mozilla Suite before 1.7.7 do not properly verify the types of objects being accessed, which causes the Javascript interpreter to continue execution at the wrong memory address, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by passing objects of the wrong type.
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.
Firefox before 1.0.1 and Mozilla before 1.7.6, when displaying the HTTP Authentication dialog, do not change the focus to the tab that generated the prompt, which could facilitate spoofing and phishing attacks.
Firefox before 1.0.1 and Mozilla before 1.7.6 allows remote malicious web sites to spoof the extensions of files to download via the Content-Disposition header, which could be used to trick users into downloading dangerous content.
Mozilla 1.6 and possibly other versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a XBM (X BitMap) file with a large (1) height or (2) width value.
Heap-based buffer overflow in the UTF8ToNewUnicode function for Firefox before 1.0.1 and Mozilla before 1.7.6 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via invalid sequences in a UTF8 encoded string that result in a zero length value.
Firefox before 1.0.1 and Mozilla before 1.7.6 truncates long sub-domains or paths for display, which may allow remote malicious web sites to spoof legitimate sites and facilitate phishing attacks.
