Package: mozilla-browser
Version: 2:1.7.8-1
Severity: important
Tags: security

I've tested mozilla to be vulnerable to CAN-2005-2395, although the
original advisory only mentioned firefox:

Mozilla Firefox 1.0.4 and 1.0.5 does not choose the challenge with the
strongest authentication scheme available as required by RFC2617, which might
cause credentials to be sent in plaintext even if an encrypted channel is
available.
